What happens when human rights are simply not part of the equation in deportation hearings – an example from the US:
At around the same time, in the US, an Iraqi couple seeking asylum in the US was ordered deported, despite having US citizen children – one of whom has hemophilia. In Baghdad, this boy is unlikely to get the proper treatment. Read the story here.
This is beyond ironic.
