(Dagbladet): Newly appointed head of Oslo Progress Party will have all asylum seekers straight into the closed reception and abolish permanent residence for asylum seekers. This weekend launches Aina Stenersen 30 points for what she calls a modern and contemporary asylum and immigration policy.
For weekend’s annual meeting in Oslo FRP has Aina Stenersen and parliament Christian Tybring- Pike promoted numerous austerity proposals they hope to get local team on.
Humanitarian organizations breeds. They say the proposals violate human rights and calls incident from Stenersen “unserious.”
“Dog Times’
– You can not detain people because they are seeking asylum, it would have been a clear violation of human rights. People can not be put in jail similar situations without having committed an offense, said Jon Peder Egenæs of Amnesty International.
Stenersen has previously awakened opponents to debate by going into general arming of the police and want a beggar ban in Oslo. She let them also depict topless for a campaign against stigmatization of rape victims.
Jon Peder Egenæs is worried about developments in the political rhetoric surrounding the refugees, and believes it goes sport to appear as tough as possible.
– We live in dog times, which more or less responsible politicians and parties to a degree constructs a crisis because asylum current is greater than what we are used to. So think one way to be popular is to find ever stricter and tougher measures, he argues.
Egenes’ colleague in Norwegian Organization for Asylum Seekers (NOAS), Ann-Magrit Austenå, butcher also initiative from FRP’s Aina Stenersen, which she believes testifies ignorance.
– As a prison
– Stenersen can obviously not much about the Norwegian asylum process or who comes here. Three out of four have protection needs and fleeing war and authoritarian regimes. When there is no reason to imprison them.
– You are comparing closed reception with prison?
– There is in fact a prison, yes. You must have committed an offense, to be deprived of freedom. It is the state’s most powerful tool, says Austenå, which is also clear that Stenersens proposal would be a violation of human rights:
– Yes, yes, yes. It’s the least no doubt about, she says.
Austenå, who worked in the Red Cross before she took over the leadership of NOAS, says she is not frightened of Stenersen, but rather “concerned” over the way asylum seekers are discussed in some political circles.
– This is an unserious initiatives, and I do not take it seriously. But what I take seriously is this apparent lack of willingness to recognize that people who come here have basic rights too. It seems as though some people think they can talk about asylum seekers in a way they’d never talked about other people, continues NOAS boss.
For the asylum seekers’ best
Aina Stenersen says she still stands for suggestions she and Tybring- Pike launches, despite criticism from the humantiære organizations. Stenersen are not particularly worried about having to violate human rights.
– It is we in Norway can decide what to do. The advice from UNHCR’s guidance. There are several countries that have closed reception too. Amnesty and NOAS not criticizing them, says Stenersen.
She’s also completely disagree with the comparison between a closed reception and a prison.
– If one is incarcerated against his will, is it not a prison?
– This is a place for asylum seekers’ best, and I will not at all equate it with a prison. They have full freedom of movement inside the receptacle, said Stenersen.
Have knowledge
She scoffs Austenå claims ignorance in Oslo FRP.
– This is completely wrong. We have a lot of knowledge in this field, and has now proposed 30 new points for a modern and contemporary asylum and immigration policy. I would also stress that it is with FRP in government that Norway has taken hold of asylum policy. I find it strange to accuse us of lacking knowledge, and it seems as though Austenå have lost the debate already, she says.
The suggestions can be clubbed through at the annual meeting of the Oslo Progress Party on Saturday. Then Stenersen also formally nominated as the local team’s new leader.
