Refoulement / Fear of refoulement / Fear for safety

Amnesty International Urgent Action Bulletin, 9 April 1998. At least 200 Burundian and around 140 Rwandese refugees could be in serious danger following their refoulement from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), which began on 5 April 1998. Thousands of refugees who remain in the DRC may also be at risk of being forcibly expelled to Burundi or Rwanda where their lives may be at risk.
