Author: admin // Category: Police BrutalityINTRODUCTION
This section is an index to some of the first reports of mistreatment of asylum seekers by the Belgian police, and the high level of hatred by the policies of Belgium (Vlaams Belang), the Flemish Interest “perceived) against asylum seekers and foreigners in general. On several occasions Amnesty International (AI) has asked the Belgian government to respect the human rights of asylum seekers and bring the brutality and abuse of asylum seekers by police to an end “near the center” (a detention center where rejected asylum seekers for deportation instead) Airport. If these complaints from Amnesty International, the Belgian government were taken sworn always to stop police brutality and abuse of asylum, but there was nothing done about it. Until now, the Belgian government is expected to be difficult to protect asylum seekers, returned to their countries of origin that do not comply with the Geneva Convention of 1951 not to distribute.
Most asylum seekers in developed countries as economic refugees, someone who voluntarily leaves his home country for better lives abroad (by the definition of Wigan Council, viewed the United Kingdom). Perhaps they have fled dictatorial and corrupt regime like that of my country, Cameroon, which tends to affect the citizens of this country economically. In my own words, what I call the “economic persecution.” Others are fleeing persecution, in my opinion, should not be in line with UN definitions related to refugees and asylum seekers. You must be upheld and protected in a country seek asylum and find refuge are being tortured and are abused in any way. In this paper, citations are given to police brutality, hate and violence show asylum seekers and refugees as outlined in this game
Who is a refugee?
International law is a refugee a person who has outside their country of nationality or habitual residence is, fundamental to the prosecution (s fear) of their race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group opinion and policy can not back or not enjoy the protection of the land, or again, for fear of persecution (free content encyclopedia Wikipedia.)
Who is an asylum seeker?
In 2004, lays the Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), an asylum seeker is a person who flees his country and seek refuge in another State, the “asylum’-law applies to his recognition as a refugee, in good faith and receive legal protection and material assistance.
For many asylum seekers, for example, or by the institutions in the country of origin is not necessarily persecution. Some have the power in the hands of the mafia networks, the dominant majority or armed groups in relation to the factors that are not directly political, such as ethnicity face. Others can at the risk of having a lifestyle that a socially unacceptable, his wife, sexual orientation, etc. Some people are threatened and persecuted includes are not fully consistent with the requirements of the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees, United Nations . Poverty, while a common factor, “push” migration is difficult to define. Many local residents, and illegal aliens unauthorized to identify different levels of difficulty, where they were encouraged to emigrate. This term therefore includes a wide range of facts (Martiniello, 2004).
Martiniello point should be taken quickly, because usually when hunger and poverty, the people and animals are forced to leave their niche to survive, sometimes leading to the exodus. I plead his cause, and help that may redefine the term refugee, as described by international law. Lack of control of these concepts within the principles and guidelines Martiniello, many people persecution in their home country and host countries twice in the face. There are many other types of persecution that a refugee as a person that is not mentioned in the definition of a refugee himself, and I think it must be by the United Nations can be kept for a definition that broad characterization. For example, if someone is present in a loss of the least developed countries affairs by an accidental fire, and a highly corrupt countries with insurance for the poor and the slowness of the judicial process that it takes several years in order compensation insurance company. Until that person and the family depends solely on that activity. find in a country with poor economy and little or no hope for a new job, the opportunity to land in another country to leave for a better life, no doubt.
Police brutality and mistreatment of refugees and asylum seekers
Amnesty International has criticized the 1999 report of Belgium for the mistreatment of asylum seekers in schools “Close”. For example, for a second time, Belgium is among the states in the Report of Amnesty International. A major concern in Belgium, describes the document the police brutality and the restrictive asylum policies. In one case reported in 1999 as Tyler said, was Hovhannes Karapetyan, a refugee in America. After several attempts of expulsion and was again Steenokkerzeel “near the center, where guards had attacked him, breaking his arm around him lose consciousness. He was then isolated in this state brought. When he asked to see a doctor, were guards again. he was assaulted admitted to the hospital the next day.
On 22 September, 11 policemen had taken a young Nigerian named Semira Adamu handcuffs, a plane at Brussels airport for deportation. When she started to cry and tried to resist the expulsion, two officers pressed a pillow on his face. She lost consciousness and died in the night. According to doctors who succumbed to a cerebral hemorrhage due to a concussion. The plight of Semira Adamu has shaken the Belgian population. More than 5,000 people on 28 September before the cathedral of Saint-Michel met in Brussels to the funeral of the young. This on the resignation of Interior Minister Luis Tobbak Socialist party the next day, the political responsibility for the violent death of a candidate 20 years (Nees, 1998).
