No Room for Refugees

Mehmud Family - Refugees in China
A small community of Ahmadiyya Muslims make their homes in China after fleeing religious persecution in their native Pakistan–but now, according to Radio Netherlands Worldwide, China wants them out.

China may have signed up to international refugee agreements, but it still sticks to its own rule: China is not to be the final destination for any refugees. They are tolerated at most, but even this policy of toleration is now to come to an end.

The Mehmud family was recently paid an unexpected visit by the police, who told them that must leave China before the Olympic Games, otherwise they will be sent back to Pakistan.
