AFGHANISTAN: Don’t deport child migrants from Europe - rights groups

KABUL, 22 June 2010 (IRIN) - The forced expulsion of Afghan child migrants from the UK and other European countries puts children in harm’s way and the practice must end immediately, rights groups say.
“UNICEF [the UN Children’s Fund] strongly advocates against blanket return policies that involve forced repatriation of children,” Aziz Froutan, UNICEF’s communication officer, told IRIN.

“It is highly doubtful that the return of children to countries with unstable or even deteriorating security situations, and where local child protection services do not exist, presents a durable solution for these children or would be in their best interest,” he said.

The UK has earmarked four million pounds (US$6 million) to build a reintegration centre in Kabul which will offer services to child deportees from the UK, according to The Guardian.

Other European countries such as Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands have also decided to send child migrants to Kabul. ... - IRIN Asia AFGHANISTAN: Don't deport child migrants from Europe ...
