Nedan finner ni en intervju med UNHCR’s representant Ursula Aboubacar där hon medger flera gånger att det förekommer slaveri i flyktinglägren i Algeriet.
Det intressanta är att hon efter premiären av Stolen påstår att hon aldrig sagt detta:
“I stated clearly from the very beginning and on several occasions throughout the interview that never any case of slavery has been brought to the attention of UNHCR (which obviously you did not like and made you very aggressive creating a very stressful interview situation, at least Violeta, not Dan). I also stated: IF there would have been any cases about that practice in the camps being brought to the attention of UNHCR we WOULD have brought it to the attention of the police forces in the camps as an abuse of human rights, but as this never happened, there was no need for it.
While you were continuing focussing on slavery practices in the camps only, I explained to you that can not be an issue to the camps only, but its an issue to be seen in a regional, traditional and cultural practice which will take long tome to completely eradicate. This was the only moment I mentioned the camps as, per se, they are part of the sub-region. Again, you manipulated theses statements in the most abusive way and took them out of their context for your own purposes.
I am ready to clarify and correct this to whom ever is asking me.”Ursula.
