EHDR-UK
sends a letter of appeal to the Libyan leader
EHDR-UK -
15 June 2004
EHDR-UK sent a letter to the
Libyan leader H.E.
Colonel Mu'ammar Abu-Minyar al-Qadhafi urging him to intervene and
halt the planned deportation of about 15 Eritrean refugees from
Libya. The letter highlighted the abuses Eritrean youth are facing
in their own country and it further cited the plight of those who were
forcibly returned from Malta in 2002. After listing the names of
those who are being prepared for deportation, the letter reminded His
Excellency UNHCR's current opposition on the return of failed asylum
seekers to Eritrea and concluded with an appeal to the Libyan leader
to allow them to stay in Libya, be allowed to go to a third safe country
or be placed under the auspices of UNHCR.
