I / My organisation am / is writing in full support of the 500 Iranian refugees who began a sit-in at the UNHCR office in Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan on June 3 and in protest to the UNHCR’s policies and inaction. 

 

Their demands are that the UNHCR:

1-     Refer refugees to the embassies of countries offering resettlement

2-     Facilitate their transfer to safe third countries

3-     Improve living and health conditions.

 

I urge your office to immediately meet with representatives of the protestors and address their demands.

 

Signed:

Name, organisation
