WorldLink: Israel's 'cash or custody' scheme

February 16, 2018

Israel says it has given asylum seekers from Eritrea and Sudan a choice between what the government terms "voluntary deportation" or imprisonment. Those who opt to leave the country are being promised $3,500 to return to Africa. Not to their home states, but to a third country. Those who opt to stay will face jail terms. Among those slated for deportation is Eritrean refugee, Habtom Mhari.
