Description: "This 83-page report documents how Israel's convoluted legal rules thwart Eritrean and Sudanese asylum seekers' attempts to secure protection under Israeli and international law. Israeli authorities have labelled Eritreans and Sudanese a "threat", branded them "infiltrators," denied them access to fair and efficient asylum procedures, and used the resulting insecure legal status as a pretext to unlawfully detain or threaten to detain them indefinitely, coercing thousands into leaving."--Publisher's website.
Notes: "September 2014"--Table of contents page.

"This report was researched and written by Gerry Simpson, senior refugee researcher and advocate at Human Rights Watch."--Page 83.
