On 25 April, Germany signed an agreement with Croatia whereby around 70,000 Croatians who fled to Germany will be returned. A limited amnesty for war-resisters and deserters will not protect all the deportees from prosecution. The Federal Interior Minister said it was important to show that war and civil war refugees could not stay in Germany indefinitely. Also in April a number of Kurdish asylum-seekers from Turkey have been or are being deported after participating in demonstrations in March, despite the worsening situation in south and eastern Turkey, where the security forces are waging war on the Kurdish population.
