\"\"<\/a>Al-Marsad has published a book on the forgotten occupation of the Syrian Golan, telling the story of the native Syrian population who continue to suffer after fifty years of occupation by Israel. In\u00a0Forgotten Occupation: Life in the Syrian Golan after 50 Years of Israeli Occupation\u2019<\/em><\/a>\u00a0, Al-Marsad gives a voice to the voiceless,\u00a0with Syrians explaining in their own words how the occupation has affected their lives.<\/p>\n

Syrians in the occupied Syrian Golan have now been separated for more than half a century from friends and family in the rest of Syria. The book describes how Syrians have witnessed the forcible\u00a0transfer and displacement of friends and family; the\u00a0destruction of homes; the appropriation of land and\u00a0the arrival of a foreign occupier. It shows how Syrians have been treated as\u00a0second-class citizens in their own country, and how they have fought to maintain their\u00a0dignity and sense of identity, despite fifty years of\u00a0oppression.<\/p>\n

The book is divided into nine chapters, which describe\u00a0different aspects of life under occupation, such as family\u00a0separation, housing restrictions and the dangers of\u00a0landmines. Every chapter consists of an interview with\u00a0a Syrian, explaining how they\u00a0have been affected by that particular issue, as well as a\u00a0legal analysis by an international expert.<\/p>\n

We wish to thank those\u00a0who have shared their stories \u2013 often at great personal\u00a0cost \u2013 with Al-Marsad. This book is dedicated to them, and to all our friends and families here, in the rest of Syria and beyond, who are struggling during this\u00a0difficult time.<\/p>\n

Al-Marsad is an independent, not-for-profit, legal human rights organisation \u2013 it is the only human rights organisation operating in the occupied Syrian Golan. For additional information, please contact marsad@golan-marsad.org or researcher@golan-marsad.org.<\/p>\n
