I am from Damascus, born in 1979, I was displaced from my city on 01/03/2014 after I got out of detention, as I knew that the Air Force Intelligence intent to re-arrest me. I left for Turkey immediately, and after a month of my arrival, I made sure that the Air Force Intelligence had already distributed my name on all border crossings with the aim of re-arresting me upon my return. I currently live in Istanbul, where I work as a resident fellow at the Omran Center for Studies. My personal vision is that the return should be after realizing a real political transition in accordance with international decisions that will achieve a safe environment considered crucial to a safe, dignified, voluntary, and sustainable return in which people return to their original places from which they left. Voluntarism means freedom for people to return or stay where they want.

I am from Damascus countryside, born in 1970, I was displaced from my city in December 2016. After that, I moved to live in London, where I work now as a business consultant. My personal vision is that the right of return is like the right of life, both related to human dignity.

I am from Deir Ezzor, born in 1962, and I was displaced from Al-Mayadin in September 2017 when the regime and its militias attacked the city, whose population of more than 100,000 people was all displaced during that period, and all the residents of the province were displaced, then I moved to live in Turkey, in Urfa city, where I work as a writer on some websites, in addition to being a member of the General Secretariat of the Syria Declaration for Change, a member of the Executive Office of the Revolutionary Political Commission for Deir Ezzor Governorate, a member of the Political Council of the Revolutionary Association of Deir Ezzor Governorate, and a member of the Free Writers Forum. My personal vision is that there is no return in the presence of the Assad’s regime, and the return becomes available, voluntary, dignified, and safe only when the Assad’s regime falls. My role as a displaced Syrian is to use all available means in order to achieve a dignified, safe and voluntary return for me, my family, and all Syrians. All Syrians must use all available means to achieve this return.

I am from Damascus countryside, I have forcibly displaced two years ago in March 2018 from Eastern Ghouta. Now my residence is in Gaziantep, Turkey, but I work as a doctor in the hospitals of the liberated northern Syria.

I am from Hama, born in 1979, and I was displaced from my city, Taybat Al-Imam, on 5/11/2012, due to fear of security threats of arresting me and my husband again, after detention for nearly a year, on the accusation of helping the rebels and providing them with free medications and also on the accusation of communicating with media channels. Our destination was Turkey, which we did not complete one year in until we returned to the liberated northern Syria. I live now in Binnish in Idlib countryside. I worked as a pharmacist in a care health center for five years, and also an activist in the field of women's rights and gender-based violence for two years, and I am a board member of the Syrian Commission for Family Affairs. My personal vision is that at the present time we cannot return as long as Assad and his regime are still in power, because we are among those who demanded freedom of opinion and other simple human rights, what opposes the regime’s corruption. We will not be able to return until Assad is also sued for the crimes he committed against the Syrian people. Our role, as displaced Syrians, is not to remain silent about our right to return because no right dies when a claimant stands for it. We will not leave any opportunity for media appearance or contact with international officials without demanding the right to return and sue Assad. We call people of different countries to stand with us to get our rights, we are the people of Syria, so we will not give up our rights, no matter how long it takes.

I am from Damascus, born in 1991, I was displaced from my city in mid-2014, when my friends and almost the entire team that I used to work with in Al-Shagour neighborhood council was arrested, which forced me to flee quickly, and then move to live in Istanbul, Turkey. I work in the humanitarian field. My personal vision is that the return begins by the end of the regime and all its personnel, eliminating the security branches’ domination on the state, and restructuring the army, followed by legal steps like returning the rights of property, releasing the detainees, and suing the war criminals.

I am from the Damascus countryside, I was born in 1976, and I was displaced in October 2016 in the green buses, as the deportation took place from the Al-Hameh and Qudsaya area to the city of Idlib, where I work as director of “Iradeti” educational and relief centers. My personal vision is that the return must be voluntary, safe, and dignified, in which we achieve a state of dignity, freedom, and justice.  

I am from Hama, born in 1992, I was displaced from the city of Hama at the beginning of 2014 after I was arrested by the security forces. This prompted me, after getting out of the prison and the completion of treatment from the effects of torture, to flee from the city to northern Syria, where I now live in the city of Idlib. I cannot return to my city, Hama, under the control of the army and security forces, and after the prosecution of all activists and opponents of the policy of repression there. My personal vision is that returning to our original areas and home towns will be available after the criminal regime is over with all its militias. Our role as Syrians is to stand up in the face of all challenges and difficulties and cooperate together to convey our voice and reach our goal by bringing down the regime and returning to our regions, and I work hard in various means available to me to fight injustice, I am the son of the Syrian revolution, she gave me birth and I seek her success.

I am from the Damascus countryside, born in 1990, and I was displaced in April 2018 after invading Eastern Ghouta and striking it with all kinds of weapons, including chemical weapons.

My personal vision is that we will return to our country and our land, God willing after the Assad regime and militias are over, and when Syria becomes safe in which a person can live free and dignified.  

I am from Damascus Countryside, born in 1986. I was displaced from Eastern Ghouta on 01/04/2018, after the Syrian regime’s campaign against Eastern Ghouta, which was ended by the displacement agreement against the people who refused to stay under the Assad’s regime. So I went to northern Syria, to move to live in a city Mainz in Germany, where I work as an activist in the field of women's empowerment and support. Seven years of siege and death by all kinds of weapons by the Assad regime. Nevertheless, we have stood strong because we believe in the goals of our revolution. But after the regime’s campaign against Eastern Ghouta, two options were imposed on us, either displacement towards northern Syria or staying under the regime that used all means to eliminate us. I chose to move to the north without any clear vision for the future except to escape from detention, which I will be subjected to if I remain in Ghouta. All areas in Syria that preceded us in making reconciliations with the Regime are witnessing on the regime's killing of activists and arresting the people. My personal vision is that it is impossible for me to think of returning if this regime and its security forces still in power despite all the pain that I live in now, far from my country and my family.

I am from Damascus, born in 1980, I left Syria before the revolution in 2007, and my name was placed on the arrest list in 2012. I currently live in Doha, Qatar.

My work in SCD gave me the chance to witness the horrific massacres that the regime has carried out in the countryside of Hama over the past eight years. I see that the regime that brutally bombards its people and displaces them to everywhere, the regime that destroyed the infrastructure of the country, which requires a maximum of 50 years to heal, is unreliable and we can’t return to the lands it seizes by the assistance of the forces of other countries, this regime that does not allow humanitarian organizations to enter its prisons to count the number of political prisoners and to exercise their horrible condition, therefore my personal vision is that there is no return under this criminal regime.

I am from Aleppo, born in 1980. I left the liberated areas in Aleppo on 18/04/2016, and I could not return because of the siege imposed by the Syrian regime and its allies on the city. So I moved to live in Gaziantep in Turkey, where I work as a director of planning in the Syrian Interim Government. My personal vision is that return is now impossible due to the new demographic reality, the lack of security and basic services, and the delay in implementing a political agreement. Return becomes available when creating a safe environment for the voluntary and dignified return of the displaced. My role in achieving the return is to continue my revolutionary struggle and to demand the fulfillment of the conditions for return. As Syrians, we should not surrender to any element of the current political process without addressing one major issue, which is creating a safe environment for a voluntary and dignified return. There is no constitution, elections, and reconstruction without it.
