nextprevEuropean countries are returning many more Afghan asylum seekers to their homeland even as violence in the war-torn country escalates, Amnesty International said in a new report Thursday. Ordinary Afghans are frustrated by the relentless violence as well as the failures to keep them secure or achieve peace. Norway appears to be the European country responsible for the largest number of forcibly returned Afghans, the report found. Citing Afghan authorities, Amnesty said of all the forced returns in the first four months of this year, 32 percent (97 out of 304 people) came from the northern European country. Horia Mosadiq, Amnesty International's Afghanistan researcher, said the returns violate international law.
