TASSC supports Human Rights Watch in telling Egyptian authorities to stop deporting #Eritrean #asylumseekers without first assessing their protection needs. Forcing Eritreans to return to their country puts them at serious risk of #detention & #torture. Trigger warning: bit.ly/34d4I8g

Dozens were killed in an attack on the #PlaineSavo displacement camp in Democratic Republic of Congo (#DRC). TASSC joins the numerous organizations and governments in condemning the attack. Read the statement made by Norwegian Refugee Council: bit.ly/3seNnUT
