Ghanaian Government asks Brazilian authorities to deport asylum seekers back to Ghana

Ghana has asked the Brazilian government to deport the 193
Ghanaian soccer fans seeking asylum in that country as soon
as their Visas expire.
Government has begun working the diplomatic channels to get
the football fans who have embarrassed the nation by seeking
asylum in Brazil, sent home, according to the Foreign Affairs
Ministry.
The fans who were flown by government to Brazil to support
the Black Stars in the 2014 World Cup tournament there, have
argued that they are Muslims fleeing inter-religious conflicts in
Ghana.
The Brazilian government is reported to be considering their
asylum application.
But the Foreign Affairs Ministry in a statement said these
individuals simply do not want to return to Ghana and must be
deported.
Government on Friday denied the claim of the fans and ordered
the Embassy in Brazil to liaise with authorities there to
investigate the development.
"Government states for the record that the basis for this alleged
request is completely false as no religious conflict is taking
place in Ghana," a government statement noted.
Speaking on Top Story on Joy FM, Chief Director of the Foreign
Affairs Ministry, Leslie Kojo Christian said the Foreign Affairs
Ministry has contacted the Brazilian government and has
insisted that there is no basis to grant the Ghanaians asylum.
"We do not believe there is any reason that can be advanced to
support their asylum status [in Brazil]...We've made our
position clear but it's left with the Brazilian government to
decide," Mr. Kojo Christian stated.
Meanwhile, International Relations expert, Dr. Vladimir Antwi
Danso says governmentt has every right to get the Brazilian
authorities to refuse the application for asylum.
"They were transported there for a specific reason and for them
to go there and seek asylum on unfounded ground, the
government has every right to react the way they have
reacted," Dr. Antwi Danso told Evans Mensah.
According to him, "...the only ogbligation the Ghana
government owes them [fans] is because they hold Ghanaian
passports".
