Summary:
"This report documents inconsistencies in the reasons municipalities have given for expelling Syrians and the failure of the central government to protect refugees' rights. United Nations officials identified 3,664 such evictions from 2016 through the first quarter of 2018. While Lebanese municipal authorities make tepid claims that the evictions were based on housing regulation infractions, Human Rights Watch found the measures taken by these municipalities have been directed exclusively at Syrian nationals, and not Lebanese citizens or other foreign nationals."--Publisher website, viewed May 2, 2018.
