UK resumes Iraq deportations despite UN warnings http://www.irna.ir/ENNewsShow.aspx?NID=30290854&SRCH=1

The British government has resumed its controversial policy of forcefully deporting failed Iraqi asylum seekers after a six month lull despite warnings from the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) that the country was unsafe. The International Federation of Iraqi Refugees (IFIR), which monitors removals, said the resumption of charter flights had been done at a time when attention was focused on Libya. 'The UK government, while it is saying how much it supports democracy and human rights in Libya, continues to support the corrupt governments in Iraq and Kurdistan,' an IFIR spokesman said. 'Now it is deporting people, many of whom left to flee this same government violence, into the middle of it. It is a criminal hypocrisy and must be stopped,' the spokesman warned.
