#UNHCR weighs in with "serious concerns" about the new US plan to create its own Nauru in #Guatemala. I'd be more blunt: it is an internationally illegal policy, dumping #refugees into a place that is not able to protect them. https://t.co/nUMcfyKBnr

"🇪🇺 has admitted in a leaked report that it cannot monitor the Libyan coastguard and that the detention of migrants is a 'profitable business model' for Libya’s government"

@cochetel I agree #Libya #detentions are horrific, but most #refugeecamps are places where people are held without trial or judicial review. See, eg, #refugee protests in #Zaatari about not being allowed to leave #internment

[ishaffer @IsaacShaffer]

2/2 #HK has almost lowest acceptance rates for #refugee claims in developed world - so increasing removals (w/o proper procedural safeguards in place), creates clear risks of severe harm, #torture or death for those forcibly returned. High standards of fairness not being met.
