EGYPT has carried out unlawful deportations of thousands of Sudanese refugees fleeing war and famine, Amnesty International reported today.
Amnesty said that it had documented 12 incidents in which Egyptian authorities returned about 800 Sudanese nationals between January and March without giving them the chance to claim asylum or challenge deportation decisions.
Refugees had been held in cruel and inhuman conditions ahead of their deportation, it added.
