Al-Jazeera Video: Syrian workers face mistreatment in Lebanon


"Many Syrians have fled to neighbouring countries to escape the violence.

In Lebanon, the conflict has reignited tensions between the local community and Syrians.

They built some of Beirut's best homes and skyscrapers, but Syrian workers say they have never felt at home in Lebanon and more importantly they do not feel safe.

Al Jazeera's Rula Amin reports from Beirut."

Hello Palestinian pundit,
Maybe some of your blog readers could be interested in this initiative.

The initiative supports Voter Registraton Cards for all refugees and
diaspora, showing town and district of origin, e.g. Haifa, Acre, Jaffa.
Also using Out of Country Voting (OCV), with international observers and
recognition and also media reporting.

Could you suggest people I could talk to/contact with ideas for spreading
the idea ? Also to refugees in camps?
I am working with a Palestinian, Basema Salman, based in Holland.
Many thanks for any help.

Kind regards,
