NGOs call on govt to stop deportations of asylum seekers

Ljubljana, 19 May - Asylum seekers and NGOs staged a rally on Friday to call on the government to prevent the planned deportations of two asylum seekers. The practice of handing those seeking international protection over to Croatia needs to be scrapped immediately, they said. The government says all asylum applications are handled on a case-by-case basis.
