Impact of sexual violence on disclosure during Home Office interviews
The British Journal of Psychiatry (2007) 191: 75-81
http://bjp.rcpsych.org/cgi/content/abstract/191/1/75?etoc
Diana Bögner, Jane Herlihy, Chris R. Brewin
"Aims: To determine whether and how sexual violence affects asylum seekers' disclosure of personal information during Home Office interviews.
Conclusions: The results indicate the importance of shame, dissociation and psychopathology in disclosure and support the need for immigration procedures sensitive to these issues. Judgments that late disclosure is indicative of a fabricated asylum claim must take into account the possibility of factors related to sexual violence and the circumstances of the interview process itself."

US-Australia refugee swap deal tempts Haitians / Sydney Morning Herald, 7 May 2007 http://digbig.com/4swbf
"On La Gonave, few people even know where Australia is. But it has become the talk of the Haitian island since Canberra signed a deal with the United States last month to swap refugees.
The US and Australian governments agreed to exchange Cuban and Haitian refugees held at the US naval base at Guantanamo in Cuba for refugees detained by Australia on the Pacific island of Nauru. The deal only covers migrants who have been given official refugee status because they have a proven fear of persecution, and was aimed at deterring people-smuggling. The pact could spur more Haitians to flee their impoverished and unstable Caribbean homeland in the misguided hope of being resettled in Australia, critics say, increasing the chance of disasters at sea like Friday's, in the Turks and Caicos islands, when dozens of Haitians drowned after their sloop capsized."
