The report comes as pressure piles on Syrian refugees in some Western countries such as Denmark to go home. "Any government claiming Syria is now safe is wilfully ignoring the horrific reality on the ground, leaving refugees once again fearing for their lives," the report said. Amnesty urged European governments and Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon to halt any practice that forces people to return. "Military hostilities may have subsided, but the Syrian government's propensity for egregious human rights violations has not," it said. Both the European Council and the European Parliament have issued declarations saying conditions are not in place for the safe and voluntary return of Syrian refugees.
