Open Democracy – When Asylum Seekers are Deported into Danger

24.06.21 - Most countries closed their borders over the pandemic, but for asylum seekers, deportation continued all over the world. More and more often, they are returned to the same life-threatening conditions that they fled. To mark World Refugee Day on 20 June 2021, and the launch of Open Democracy’s multimedia project 'Parallel Journeys', Samuel Hall co-founder joined a discussion chaired by Preethi Nallu on returns without reintegration. Her fellow panellists included Léa Yammine of Lebanon Support and international human trafficking expert Claudio Formisano.
