Request for intervention with the Algerian authorities to find a solution to
the crisis of African migrants
Dear chairman,
In the name of the Scandinavian Observatory for Communication, we avail ourselves
of this opportunity to request your intervention with the Algerian authorities to find a
solution to the crisis of African migrants.
Indeed, over 900 African migrants from 16 countries, many of whom are children and
pregnant women, were loaded on buses to Malian borders where they were left in an
open-ended desert without any water no food.
The dire situation of these fellow human beings, exposed to all forms of abuse and
brutality, shows to what extent the Algerian military forces have no respect at all for
the dignity of migrants.
Such a behavior jeopardizes and breaks the cooperation between the Algerian

authorities and migration services within the EU, in a blatant disrespect to all
international human rights conventions.
You can assess (her attached) some of these gross violations of the basic human
rights that were recorded and broadcasted on Denmark's national TV, together with
comments from journalists and different international news agencies.
Obviously, as a civil society organization, one of whose main roles is to identify
violations of human rights in Africa, we firmly condemn these inhumane treatments
that are contrary to the international law and the universal declaration of human
rights.
By the same token, we call for an investigation into this serious issue by your
institution in order to bring the parties concerned to respect and protect the rights of
migrants on the Algerian territory.
Looking forward to a continuation from you, please accept the expression of my
sincere consideration.
