5 Russians who fled to avoid military draft sue South Korea for refusing asylum
FirstpostSeoul: A group of Russians who escaped from their country to avoid being drafted into the army to fight in the war in Ukraine, have claimed that their lives are hanging in the balance after South Korea rejected their bid to seek asylum in that country. “They have filed lawsuits against South Korea’s Justice Ministry’s decision to deny them chances to be screened for possibly granting them refugee status,” Lee told This Week in Asia. But they launched lawsuits, challenging the government’s decision that they are not qualified to be screened for possibly granting them refugee status,” a Justice Ministry official said. “The court will probably grant them a chance to be screened as potential refugees, but the government is unlikely to allow them to live in South Korea as legitimate refugees,” Yoon said. “I hope that South Korea will help me stay here, at least until the war is over.” Read all the Latest News, Trending News, Cricket News, Bollywood News, India News and Entertainment News here.
