2012-01-27 Norja: Palauttamissopimus Etiopian kanssa

[kohmelo]

20 vuoden neuvottelujen jälkeen Norja on sopinut Etiopian kanssa etiopialaisten palauttamisesta kotimaahansa.

Sopimus tietää sitä, että laittomasti Norjassa elävät 400 paperitonta etiopialaista joutuvat palaamaan kotiinsa. Vapaaehtoisesti palaavia rohkaistaan 40 000 kruunun palkkiolla. Vasta maaliskuun puolestavälistä alkaen aletaan sitten pohtimaan pakkokäännytyksen mahdollisuuksia.

Norjalainen pakolaisjärjestö Norwegian Organisation for Asylum Seekers on luonnollisesti huolissaan valtion toimista ja etenkin jo pitkään Norjassa asuneista lapsosista.

Government backs Ethiopians' departure

Norway has signed an agreement with Ethiopia enabling nationals to return home, officials say.

The new deal means will enable around 400 paperless Ethiopians living in Norway illegally from authorities' point of view to go back. Deputy Minister of Justice Pål K. Lønseth encourages them to return to Ethiopia voluntarily, giving them 40,000 kroner.

"We will not be using the option of forcible returns before the 15th March, meaning they have the opportunity to apply for a voluntary one soreturn. So the can return to Ethiopia under general conditions," he tells NRK.

According to him, 15,000 kroner is "if they choose to reintegrate themselves in Ethiopia", the rest is financial support towards measures after their arrival.

However, watchdog the Norwegian Organisation for Asylum Seekers (NOAS) personnel express concern about how the government has handled matter, particularly regarding children.

Secretary General Ann-Margrit Austenå says, "A number of Ethiopian children have lived in Norway for quite some time, and we believe their situation must be addressed. The government must postpone cases and make a new assessment if it is serious about their best interests."
