Denmark has become the first European nation to tell Syrian migrants they must return to their home country, saying it is now safe for them there. The Scandinavian nation has stripped 94 Syrian refugees of their residency permits after it determined Damascus and the surrounding area as being safe.

This is the case for Syrian refugees in Denmark because the country does not cooperate with the Assad regime.
