No one would venture to say that there is ever a good place to be a refugee, however conditions do vary greatly, and in many country's life as a refugee gives one little hope for the future.
According to a recent survey, The Worst Places for Refugees, conducted by the advocacy group US Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI)
Those countries listed as worst refugee abusers included are; China, India, Malaysia, Thailand, Bangladesh, Iraq, Kenya, Russia, Sudan and the continent of Europe where ranked as the 10 worst places for refugees. All of those among the top-10 are seen as the worst violators of refugees’ rights, as the USCRI list was compiled basing the rankings on the levels of refugee rejections, persecution and deaths, or letting them enter into a country and subjecting them to deprivation and keeping them in an indefinate limbo.
Of the situation USCRI president Lavinia Limon said:
“We’ve tried to call attention to these countries because they have been particularly egregious in their treatment of refugees. Some of them have forced refugees back into dangerous situations, some of them have warehoused refugees in camps for decades, and some of them have done their best to make sure refugees never enter their territory. Some of them have done all of the above.”
Currently there are more than 60 countries which have substantial refugee populations, Pakistan has the worlds largest refugee population.
