Once again Norwegian government attempt mass rejection and expulsion of refugees that used the Arctic route

Europe's severe situation taken into account, it is obviously even more important that those who used the Arctic-route in the days after Storskog-policy was introduced, must have their asylum applications considered in a safe country.

Refugees Welcome to the Arctic now demand that the Norwegian government must answer: what is your current practice regarding these refugees need for asylum?

The expulsions of refugees stopped after massive protests from organizations, lawyers and activists back in February. The Russian government halted the Norwegian plans, when they disagreed about who's responsibility the 5500 refugees that crossed over to Norway from Russia in the lasts months of 2015 was. For a while, Refugees Welcome to the Arctic thought the refugees entering Norway through the Arctic route, would after all have their asylum application considered, as Norway is committed to through the Refugee Convention. For a while, it seemed as if the Norwegian government would change their policy.
