SARAJEVO, May 11 (Reuters) - Human rights groups called on Bosnia on Friday not to deport foreign-born Muslims who fought in the Bosnian war to countries where they might face rights abuse, torture and punishment.
"We urge you to take appropriate steps to safeguard the fundamental rights of every person in Bosnia and Herzegovina subject to removal, including those whose citizenship is under review," they said in a letter to Bosnia's security minister.
In April Bosnia revoked the citizenship of 367 foreigners, most of them Muslim volunteers from Egypt, Algeria, Syria, Tunisia and Turkey who came to fight alongside the Bosnian Muslims in their 1992-95 war against Serbs and Croats, and ordered their deportation.
They can appeal but will be deported if their appeals fail.
Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the Bosnian branch of the Helsinki Committee for Human Rights said they feared that those facing deportation might be jailed when they reached their countries of origin.
The Bosnian action is seen as part of an anti-terrorism drive requested by the United States, which called for the ex-fighters' deportation during the late 1990s and again after the Sept. 11 attacks.

Ping!
“We urge you to take appropriate steps to safeguard the fundamental rights of every person in Bosnia and Herzegovina subject to removal...” despite the fact that they are organized and ready to kill you and your children and take over your country. What a piece of crap. Round ‘em up and ship ‘em out, back to somewhere the folks share their hideous religion, and don’t let any of them leave that hell hole ever again.
“The Bosnian action is seen as part of an anti-terrorism drive requested by the United States, which called for the ex-fighters’ deportation during the late 1990s and again after the Sept. 11 attacks.” If this is something we are recommending to others.............shouldn’t we be doing the same thing? Amazing!
Bill clinton looked the other way when they broke his “embargo” on Bosnia. Let him pay their way home.
Time for Jimmah Cahter to step in and negotiate...he hasn’t been seen in a while.
Stop saying that. If Carter hasn’t been seen for awhile, that’s a good thing. Leave him alone.
I agree, but when opportunity rears its ugly head, the usual suspects always come out of the woodwork: Jimmah, Bubba, etc.
Wasnt it Amnesty International that complained about human rights in the USA?
I agree with A.A.
Whack ‘em there- save the airfare.
They just complain abut human rights of Soros Fluffers/Muslims- anywhere in the world.
Hunt them down and kill them.
ALL of them.
Clinton did NOT look the other way when they broke his “embargo” on Bosnia! He was fully complicit!

Yes, I probably should have said that for people who don’t know.
Wow! Not to wish away my weekend but I cannot wait until monday when the republican leadership all come out and bring this news to the American people and expose Hillary/Bill and their party for what damage they have done in this world!
if they are subject to imprisonment in their country of origin..what the heck did they do in their home country? selling girl scout cookies without permit?
Are you sure they were selling the cookies or the girlscouts themselves? Shiptari have fondness for such transactions.
