Jordan: Bush and Abdullah Must Address Iraqi Refugee Crisishttp://www.hrw.org/english/docs/2006/11/28/jordan14670.htmMore Than 1 Million in the Region in Need of Protection, Aid (Amman, November 28, 2006) – After fleeing violence and persecution in Iraq, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis living in Jordan face a daily threat of arrest, fines and deportation because the Jordanian government treats them as illegal immigrants rather than refugees, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. When US President George W. Bush meets King Abdullah in Amman tomorrow, he must offer to assist Jordan in protecting Iraqi refugees and insist Amman stops sending them back into mortal danger. |
