Authorities requested not to extradite persons to unsafe countries

SARAJEVO, June 16 (Hina) - Bosnia and Herzegovina's Helsinki Committee on Human Rights, Amnesty International and the International Commission on Human Rights on Friday called for measures which would prevent violations of fundamental human rights of persons who might remain without Bosnian citizenship during a revision launched in March.
SARAJEVO, June 16 (Hina) - Bosnia and Herzegovina's Helsinki Committee on Human Rights, Amnesty International and the International Commission on Human Rights on Friday called for measures which would prevent violations of fundamental human rights of persons who might remain without Bosnian citizenship during a revision launched in March.

In a statement issued in Sarajevo, the three organisations said the revision of citizenship granted to persons originally from Afro-Asian countries between 6 April 1992 and 1 January 2006 should include the possibility of lodging complaints, which is not the case now.

The state authorities were requested not to extradite persons who might be stripped of citizenship to their countries of origin if there they might be killed, tortured or treated inhumanely.

The authorities were cautioned that such actions would constitute a direct violation of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.

According to earlier announcements, a special government commission plans to check the status of some 1,500 naturalised citizens who mostly came to Bosnia during the 1990s war to join the army or Islamic humanitarian organisations.

It is assumed that many acquired Bosnian citizenship with forged documents and could pose a security threat to the country.

Since March, the commission decided to strip 38 persons of citizenship.
