§ 56. Mr. Wallasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many political refugees have sought refuge in Uganda from the Sudan since August, 1955; how many have been returned at the request of the Sudanese Government; and for what reasons their return has been allowed.
§ Mr. H. FraserAbout 5,000 refugees entered Uganda from the Sudan in 1955, though not all of these were political refugees. Some came because of economic difficulties. About another 100 arrived in 1956 Only one of these refugees has been compulsorily returned to the Sudan. He was accused of murder and attempted murder. One political refugee arrived in September, 1957, and a further ten have crossed the border since December, 1960. None of these has been returned to the Sudan.
