Rejected Refugees protesting at the WSF

DSC01375Thursday saw a protest of about 50 rejected Refugees at the entry to the World Social Forum. The refugees stayed during several hours taking the opportunities to spread their message to journalists and interested participants from all over the world. They were holding banners saying for example: “We are not migrants under Tunisia, we are asylum seekers. We demand the UNHCR asylum protection!” and “Resettlement in safe countries counting with effective system of protection!”.
