On 3 July 2011, French authorities decided to remove a Somali woman whose asylum claim had been rejected less than 24 hours after her arrival. The French support organisation to foreigners at the borders (Anafé - Association nationale d'aide aux étrangers aux frontières) claims this woman was at risk of persecution and that her removal would amount to "refoulement". On 11 July 2012, the UN Committee Against Torture upheld the Anafé's opinion and urged France not to deport the claimant.
