HRW Calls for an End to Forced Return of Refugees

The Somaliland authorities should cease forcibly returning refugees and asylum seekers to possible persecution in Ethiopia, Human Rights Watch said today. On December 28, authorities returned 20 Ethiopian refugees and asylum seekers in violation of the fundamental international refugee law prohibition against "refoulement," the forcible return of anyone to persecution or to a place where their life or freedom is threatened.
