An unwanted person

In 2010: 10,118 people applied for Asylum in Austria, which was 30% less then 2009.

In 2010: 80,6% of people applying for Asylum, received a negative on their Asylum case.

Most of these negatives was not because of fake Asylum claims.

But more to the fact that the refugee had passed through a first European country, before arriving in Austria i.e A Chechen must pass through Poland before getting to Austria, an Afghan passes through Greece or Hungary before arriving in Austria. By International Laws, Austria is allowed to without compassion, return them to the first country.

Last year 3,715 people were returned to another EU country under this rule.

David has just come back from a Refugee Highway Partnership conference in Rome. Where he got to meet people from Finland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, France, Spain, Malta and Italy who are working amongst refugees who come seeking Asylum in their countries. All told similar stories of the treatment of refugees in their country, the large numbers of negative Asylum claims, and the conditions that the Refugees must live through, from over crowding and heat of making a border crossing to Malta on boat. To the police telling refugees without Shelter in Denmark to keep walking around the streets at night, because if you don't you will freeze to death.

Listening to the country reports at the conference, And knowing the Refugee situations is like in Austria and Australia. A Refugee Really is An Unwanted Person
