Cambodia to Accept More Refugees Next Month
A mixed group of refugees is set to arrive inCambodia next month under an agreement withAustralia.
Three refugees from Iran and a Rohingya fromMyanmar will arrive in October as part of theagreement. Reports say Cambodia will receive as much as $40 million in aid from Australia inexchange for accepting the asylum seekers.
The refugees have been living temporarily on the Pacific island of Nauru. They are secondgroup to go to Cambodia.
Khieu Sopheak is with Cambodia's Interior Ministry. On Monday he spoke about the refugeesand their expected arrival time. "The ministry is sending officials to interview them (in Nauru),"he said.
Details of the agreement between Australia and Cambodia have mostly been kept secret. Butmany human rights groups are critical of the deal. So are religious groups and opponents ofthe ruling parties in both countries.
Elaine Pearson is the Australia director of the rights group Human Rights Watch. "The reality isCambodia is both unsafe and [unprepared] to handle large numbers of refugees," she told theReuters news service.
This new group of refugees would only be the second group Cambodia would accept under thedeal. The first group arrived in June. One member of that four-person group has already askedto return to Myanmar, the country which he fled.
The deal has received increased criticism now that Australia just agreed to accept 12,000 Syrianand Iraqi refugees. Critics say that Australia is not treating all refugees equally.
The Cambodian Human Rights and Development Association is the country's oldest humanrights group. Ny Chakrya, a rights officer for the group, said, "There should be nodiscrimination like this. Australia has shown its discrimination."
Some observers believe that more than 600 refugees and asylum-seekers are living on Nauru.Manus Island in Papua New Guinea is holding hundreds more under a different agreement withAustralia. Most of these people are from countries in South Asia and the Middle East.
The United Nations Refugee Agency says the deal between Australia and Cambodia is in conflictwith the main ideas of the refugee convention. This international agreement defines who is arefugee and how they should be treated. Both countries signed this treaty in the past.
