Panama repatriates Colombian refugees

April 29th, 2003 | by aobaoill |

From yesterday’s InterWorldRadio:

Panama has returned more than 100 refugees to Colombia against their wishes. The United Nations refugee body has condemned the repatriation, and is working with the Colombian government to help the returnees. Among them were 63 children, and some mothers who had been forced to leave their other children behind. They had all originally fled Colombia to escape fighting.
