VERY CRITICAL OF CLOSED RECEPTION

The agreement between the four bourgeois parties it is intended to increase the use of closed reception centers for asylum seekers criminals but also for asylum seekers who have been refused asylum and awaiting his return home.

 

Amnesty International believes that detention is a serious action against an individual, which should be limited as much as possible. There should be strong reasons for a person to be exposed to such a move. 

 

- Regular liberty, like putting someone in prison-like institutions, are measures used against persons who are suspected of or who have committed a crime.Applying for asylum is a human right and to get discounts on their application for asylum is not a crime, says Beate Ekeløve-Slydal, Adviser at Amnesty International in Norway.

 

- Why should not a person subject to detention only to have been refused asylum. It should be defined to apply to persons who have committed offenses.
