Reports of terrible tragedies suffered by the 240 refugees who were arrested and deported by the Moroccan authorities on December 23, 2006, began to reach us.

According to reports from Attac, a 5-month-pregnant Congolese woman was viciously raped on January 2nd. She was hospitalized but lost her baby in hospital. Since her rape, she is said to have been in a state of shock and refuses to speak.

According to Afrik.com, quoting Paulin Kuamzambi, the vice-president of Morocco Refugees Collective, four women were raped on the way back to Oujda (Morocco). There hasn't been any more information about the circumstances surrounding these rapes except that, in 3 cases, the rapers were Moroccans, while it was Algerians in the fourth.

Iraqi asylum seekers in the UK, claims in progress or have been refused asylum

03-01-2007 14:25

UNHCR is specifically advising refugee receiving countries to give due consideration to granting refugee status to Iraqi's from Central and Southern Iraq and that there should be no forced returns to Central and Southern Iraq further that there should be no forced returns to third countries.

They are more cautious on returns to the three Northern Governorates (Sulaymaniyah, Erbil and Dohuk), though they do say "the security situation, even if calm, remains tense and unpredictable" and that careful consideration must be given before any returns are carried out.

Somalia: New Hotbed of Anti-Americanism
