Reprieve for Bosnian Croat
01 May 1993
Home Office plans to remove Mira Litobac and her two children to France were reversed after the Refugee Council and others protested that such an action would be in breach of the undertaking given by immigration minister Charles Wardle in August last year. Mrs Litobac drove through Europe to escape from Croatia and join relatives in Britain. The Home Office wanted to apply the "safe third country" rule, to her but the minister had promised that refugees from the former Yugoslavia would not be returned to "transit" countries.
