REPORTAGE - Sudanesische Flüchtlinge in Israel
July 2007 - Israel: A Sudanese child refugee is being fed by his mother (unseen) in the women's shelter in the Druze village of Osafiya, Mar 17, 2007. More than 320 Sudanese refugees have fled from Egypt to Israel during the past couple of years. Over 120 refugees are detained in prisons, while all others live in kibbutzim or moshavim restricted to the settlement's premises. The women's shelter in Osafiya houses 11 women and their 21 children, waiting for their husbands to be released from prison and move to an Israeli settlement. Israeli NGOs appealed to the Supreme Court claiming that holding refugees in jail alongside criminal offenders is prohibited according to the UNHCR. The Court ordered the state to provide an explanation until early May as to why the refugees are imprisoned.

REPORTAGE - Sudanesische Flüchtlinge in Israel
July 2007 - Israel: More than 320 Sudanese refugees have fled from Egypt to Israel in recent years. Over 120 refugees are detained in prisons (around 45 in the Ktziot prison), while all others live in Kibbutzim or Moshavim, restricted to the settlements' premises. Israeli NGOs appealed to the Supreme Court claiming that holding refugees in jail alongside criminal offenders is prohibited according to the UNHCR. The Court ordered the state to provide an explanation by early May as to why the refugees are imprisoned. Over the course of the past year, Israeli authorities have worked with the UNHCR to find a more humane alternative for housing these refugees, rather than simply placing them in prison cells. As a result, many live in Kibbutzim and Moshavim. Differences remain however. While supporters of the new accommodations point out that refugees are slowly becoming integrated into the kibbutz system, critics argue that those housed at the Moshavim are treated as simple laborers, and not true residents.

REPORTAGE - Sudanesische Flüchtlinge in Israel
July 2007 - Israel: Sudanese refugees visiting the Yad Vashem Jewish Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem. More than 5,000 survivors of the genocide in Darfur and the ongoing civil war in south Sudan have fled to Israel, a country familiar with atrocities of war. Although Israel was one of two states which led to a UN decision that every country must accept refugees even if from its enemies, the local authorities have yet to supply a proper solution for the growing number of people seeking shelter.

Tong Her in an ambulance during tense scenes at the Nong Khai Immigration Detention Center as authorities threatened to deport 152 Hmong refugees back to Laos, Nong Khai, Thailand, on Tuesday January 30th, 2007. Tong has been recieving reconstructive surgery in Thailand and was being taken from the Dention Center to Nong Khai Hospital for treatment. Half of Tong's face was shot off by Lao Army forces in the jungles of Laos.
The deportation was postponed after the Hmong men, including Tong's father, Blia Shoua Her, barricaded their jail cell and threatened mass suicide if they were forcibly sent back to Laos where they face possible torture and death.
The men reportedly declared, "We would rather die in Thailand than be sent back to Laos".
On May 16, 2007 the Thai Military Junta forced the UNHCR Bangkok refugee office to stop accepting applications from asylum seekers. On Friday night June 8, 2007, after UNHCR and western diplomats had gone home for the weekend, Thai authorities forcibly deported a different group of 160 Hmong asylum seekers to back Laos.
Up to 1,000 Hmong jungle people surrendered to Lao authorities last year due to Lao Military pressure, an inability to defend themselves, and lack of food or medicine. This includes Blia Shoua Her?s group of 438 people who suffered the massacre April 6, 2006. All of these Hmong have vanished and the Lao Government has made no account of their whereabouts or condition despite requests from humanitarian groups. (FOTO: DUKAS/WORLDPICTURENEWS)

There were tense scenes at the Nong Khai Immigration Detention Center as authorities tried to deport 152 Hmong refugees back to Laos, Nong Khai, Thailand, on Tuesday January 30th, 2007. In protest the women and children sat in the street infront of the buses. Some Hmong collapsed with emotion and exhaustion from the ordeal.
The deportation was postponed after the Hmong men barricaded their jail cell and threatened mass suicide if they were forcibly sent back to Laos where they face possible torture and death.
