ZURICH, Switzerland — Switzerland is due to deport a seriously injured Somali man to Mogadishu this week despite his lawyers’ objections and planned medical treatment, according to Swiss human rights group Augenauf.
The man, a father of three children living in Europe who has been in Switzerland for 11 years, is scheduled to be deported via Istanbul on Thursday, with an expected arrival in Mogadishu at 8:40 am, the group said.
The case has raised concerns over the treatment of Somali nationals during forced deportations and Switzerland’s cooperation with Somali authorities on the return of migrants.
According to Augenauf, the man was seriously injured around two weeks ago after allegedly being attacked by two fellow residents at an underground asylum accommodation where he had been placed by Swiss authorities.
