UNHCR says some 60 Iraqis sent home from Europe
Published in Saudi Press Agency on 10 - 06 - 2010

Some 60 Iraqis who failed to gain asylum have been deported from several European countries and sent back to Baghdad despite concerns the situation is still too dangerous for their return, AP quoted the U.N. refugee agency as saying on Thursday.
The plans to send the Iraqis home from Britain, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands have raised concern over the fate of the estimated 2 million Iraqis who have fled Iraq _ most because of the violence following the 2003 U.S.-led invasion.
Security has seen dramatic improvements over the past two years in Iraq. But the UNHCR had urged governments not to force the Iraqis to return, citing continued attacks and human rights violations in Baghdad and surrounding areas.
