Report: Israel Unlawfully Coercing African Migrants to Leave 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
A new report by Human Rights Watch finds Israel has unlawfully coerced
nearly 7,000 Eritrean and Sudanese migrants into returning to their home
countries, where they may face torture and other abuses. After fleeing
human rights crises at home, the migrants have faced indefinite
detention, restrictions on healthcare access and the rejection of 99.9
percent of asylum claims in Israel.
