Protest in Front of the UNHCR goes on

The group of recognized refugees from Choucha refugee camp are continuing their protest in front of the UNHCR office in Tunis. Today the group counted 41 persons, that demand to be accepted to the Resettlement Programme. As the Choucha camp is due to be closed in the coming months and it is said that water and electricity will be cut off at the end of April, the situation of the refugees still living there is becoming more and more precarious.

A delegation of the protesters joined the World Social Forum in the afternoon of Wednesday. They are trying to get in touch with humanitarian organisations and journalists, that are willing to support them in their struggle. To get in contact with them you can call our supporters group: (00216) 21114547 or choucha (a) riseup.net
