Russia: Asylum and immigration
artdoc November=1995

Russia promises to establish asylum procedures

In answer to questions from Amnesty International, the
Russian foreign ministry has stated that some progress is
being made in the attempt to establish fair and
satisfactory asylum procedures which meet international
standards.
Amnesty International had previously complained of-
* police harassment, threats of extortion and the
confiscation of identity documents of asylum seekers by law
enforcement officers;
* the forcible expulsion of 20 Afghans with a well-founded
fear of persecution who were arrested on 8 August in the
Krasnodar territory and returned to Afghanistan via Uzbekistan
(AI, op cit).
