EGYPT'S ASYLUM LAW SPARKS REFUGEE RIGHTS CONCERNS
Hindustan Times Jaipur
|December 21, 2024
Egypt adopted its first-ever asylum law this week, but it has sparked concerns among human rights groups who warn it takes a "security-focused approach" that could undermine refugee protections.
CAIRO:
Signed into law by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, on Tuesday, the legislation comes as Egypt faces a severe economic crisis and fallout from regional conflicts, including Sudan and Gaza.
The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) says Egypt is receiving hundreds of Sudanese refugees daily, with more than 845,000 refugees and asylum seekers registered as of November.
Official estimates suggest Egypt now hosts more than nine million "guests" -- the government term for refugees and migrants.
