Ukraine: 10 Uzbek Asylum Seekers Deported

Categories: Eastern & Central Europe, Ukraine, Human Rights, Law, Refugees

Peter Byrne at Abdymok links [1] to a Ukrainian-language story on ten Uzbek asylum seekers who were deported from Ukraine in violation of international law. He thinks this is “almost as bad as shipping rocket launchers to Burma [2].” Holly Cartner, director of Human Rights Watch's Europe and Central Asia Division, believes [3] the ten men are likely to face “torture and abuse” back home.
