GENEVA: The UN urged Israel Tuesday to refrain from mass deportations of Eritreans following weekend clashes involving asylum seekers, warning it would \u201ccontravene international law\u201d and could have dire human consequences.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The United Nations refugee agency said it was \u201cdeeply concerned\u201d by the clashes that erupted on Saturday when a demonstration against an Eritrean government event turned violent, injuring over 200 people.<\/p>\n

The clashes began when hundreds of anti-government Eritreans came to prevent the event from taking place in Tel Aviv, the commercial centre of Israel.<\/p>\n

\u201cUNHCR calls for calm and restraint, and on all parties to refrain from taking any steps that could aggravate the situation further,\u201d William Spindler told reporters in Geneva.<\/p>\n

While stressing that it was \u201cimportant to establish accountability\u201d for the events, he warned Israel against taking broad measures against Eritreans in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny decision impacting all Eritrean asylum-seekers, or instances of refoulement would contravene international law,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Collective punishment is banned under international law, as is refoulment, or returning someone to a country where they could face torture, cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment.<\/p>\n

His comments came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the country was considering deporting 1,000 Eritreans who took part in the clashes.<\/p>\n

Stressing that the situation in Eritrea, considered one of the world\u2019s most authoritarian states, \u201cremains unchanged\u201d, Spindler warned that sending people back there \u201ccould result in dramatic human consequences\u201d.<\/p>\n

He insisted that \u201cthe vast majority of asylum-seekers living in Israel are peaceful and law-abiding\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe incidents on September 2 are deeply regrettable, and do not reflect the behaviour of the broader Eritrean community in Israel.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to June statistics, there are 17,850 Eritrean asylum seekers in Israel.<\/p>\n

UNHCR said more than 170 asylum-seekers and dozens of police officers were injured in Saturday\u2019s clashes.<\/p>\n

The UN rights office meanwhile decried the use of force by law enforcement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand that hospitals are reporting that there are people who suffered gunshot wounds, \u2026 so live ammunition was used,\u201d rights office spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani told reporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are alarmed at the high number of injuries, and we insist that it is crucial that investigations take place, and that hate speech is avoided, including by the authorities,\u201d she said, also demanding that \u201cthe principle of non-refundable is respected fully\u201d.<\/p>\n
