Refugee Crisis; Somalia detentions; Hungary's Hateful Handout: HRW Daily Brief

Next week, two summits on the global refugee crisis will be held at the United Nations. An "unprecedented response" from world leaders is required to protect the millions of people displaced by violence and persecution, Human Rights Watch said today. For example, hundreds of thousands of Somali refugees in Kenya's sprawling Dadaab camp face being forced back to devastating conditions in Somalia or abandoned by the Kenyan government. There is also some good news from Somalia, with the release from detention of five staffers of a Mogadishu-based policy center, who had been wrongfully detained by intelligence services for almost a month. But now they deserve an answer to why they were held in the first place, and why Somalia's intelligence agency is allowed to carry out illegal detentions at all. From earlier today: Hungary's government has spent €16 million spreading distorted facts about refugees, HRW has said. The 18-page booklet is just one part of Hungary’s "tax-payer funded anti-migrant campaign" designed to counter a binding EU relocation quota. A dual-nationality Iranian-British woman has been jailed for five years in Iran on national security charges. Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's conviction without any semblance of a fair trial is what amounts to ‘justice’ in Iran’s notorious revolutionary courts, HRW said, and has called for her to be freed immediately. A new study by the World Bank suggests homophobic practices in countries around the world are estimated to cost billions of dollars in lost economic activity.
