Afghan Hazara Refugees Seek Justice in Turkey
Afghan Hazara asylum seekers in Turkey are facing an uncertain future due to a shift in policy by UNHCR. Compelled by what they call the discriminatory policy of the UN refugee body, these asylum seekers in Turkey resorted to sit-in protest on April 14, 2014 in Ankara in front of the UNHCR office which is still in progress after a lapse of one and a half months. Some of the protestors including women have even sewn their lips and are staging hunger strike to press the UNHCR authorities to treat them fairly.
