EU Updates Asylum Rules for Syrians Facing Risks

The EU has new rules for Syrian asylum seekers. This is one year after Assad lost power in Syria. The rules may change the result of asylum requests.

The EU agency said some Syrians are not in danger now. Those include Assad's opponents and people avoiding military service. Other groups may still be at risk in Syria.

These at-risk groups include people linked to the old government. They also include Alawites, Christians, and Druze. Each country decides on asylum, but EU uses this guidance.

The goal is to have similar rules in 29 countries. These countries give international protection. Syrian asylum requests went down after Assad lost power.

Syria's war killed many people and made others leave. Many Syrians went to Europe as refugees. The EU has given refugee status to many Syrians since 2012.
