Former
detainees in Senegal
deported to Libya
Charlie Savage writes in the NY Times,
"...a decision this month
by Senegal
to deport two former detainees to their
chaotic birth
country of Libya has
raised the prospect that the resettlement
system
is starting to collapse
under President Trump. After a traumatic
journey, the Libyans apparently
fell into the hands of a hard-line
militia leader who has been accused
of prisoner abuse — and then they
vanished." Read his article here.
WAT states: "The U.S. has the obligation
first and foremost to
ensure that former
prisoners are resettled without fear of
additional
retribution, and the decision
to deport Khalifa back to Libya
demonstrates a total and utter lack of
commitment to prisoners it
unjustly
detained and whose lives remain
irreparable."
