Crime No Reason For Refugee Status: UNHCR

Logo_UNHCR_SmallUnited Nations High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR) southern African representative, Sanda Kimbimbi, blasted last week’s ruling by Canada which granted a White South African refugee status on the grounds of racial persecution, saying there are no grounds for any South African to be granted refugee status anywhere in the world.

“Crime cannot be grounds for application because it is not listed as one of the grounds to apply for refugee status,” Kimbimbi told South African paper The Daily Argus. “And how do you articulate your claims ? because you are a victim of crime? Crime is not committed by the state. To say the state is not able to protect you is far fetched. Anyone can be a victim of crime. If that was the case, then anyone in SA would be able to claim it.”

The ruling has set off a diplomatic firestorm between the two countries, with South Africa crying “racism” and Canada moving to review the decision made by its independent Immigration and Refugee Board.

More than 3,000 White South African farmers and farm workers have been murdered in Plaasmorde attacks, the characteristic home invasions and murders perpetuated by Blacks against Whites, since the so-called “turn over” in 1994. Thousands more have been killed by Blacks since 1994, yet the ANC government will not release official statistics.

More than 600 South Africans have successfully obtained refugee status across the globe.

    It is easy for the ANC to classify the murder and assault of whites as criminal activity. We daily read of whites being murdered and only a mobile phone or similar taken – it is then classified as robbery. We daily hear of the threats made by the villains against all white people – these are never investigated and hardly ever do we read of the criminals being brought to justice. Do some research about the farms murders (plaasmoorde) Mr Huntley has a valid claim. Please tell this to the world.

    The Huntley’s case was not all about crime; there is a second racist AA and BEE policy part to this story:

    quote:-

    “The judgment was a direct criticism of the SA Government,” Kaplan said. He said Affirmative Action and Black Economic Empowerment were two of the aspects that were taken into account in considering Huntley’s application for refugee status in Canada. “These legislated policies, even though there is an explanation for them, are discriminatory.”
