The refugee organisation Pro Asyl reported mid-September that two of the seven Sudanese refugees deported from Germany to Sudan after a three-week hunger strike had been arrested. Pro Asyl stated that its information came from the National Democratic Alliance, a major opposition grouping in Sudan. A speaker from the NDA said that the information was from a "reliable source". Pro Asyl called on the German government to prove the whereabouts of the refugees and called for a parliamentary inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the deportation. The organisation also claimed that everything pointed towards Interior Minister Kanther having ignored an offer by the Eritrean government to take the refugees, as well as having ordered the deportation before the Federal Constitutional Court had reached a verdict on the case. The Federal government denied all knowledge of the arrests, describing the claim as "unfounded". Berlin Antiracist Information Network, September/October 1995; see Statewatch vol 5 no 5.
