Fahamu Refugee Legal Aid Newsletter

The Fahamu Refugee Legal Aid Newsletter is a monthly electronic publication that provides news, reflection, and learning on the provision of refugee legal aid. It is aimed primarily to be a resource for legal aid providers in the Global South where law journals and other resources are hard to access. It complements the information portal, http://www.frlan.org. The newsletter follows recent developments in the interpretation of refugee law; case law precedents from different constituencies; reports and helpful resources for refugee legal aid providers; and stories of struggle and success in refugee legal aid work.

Request for Sahrawi COI expert

A Sahrawi refugee claiming asylum in the UK, who suffered torture at the hands of the Polisario in Tindouf camp, was rejected on the basis that he could be safely returned to Algeria and claim Algerian nationality. This refugee was working under another Sahrawi who was likely to have been spying for Morocco, but who disappeared. If someone is able to comment on the Algerian nationality issue, or has any information to share on the subject, please email Barbara Harrell-Bond and Laurence Dickinson
