"David Blunkett was accused last night of imposing 'punitive' measures against Iraqi asylum-seekers by the United Nations' refugees agency.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees accused the Home Secretary of using coercion to force refugees to leave Britain to face life in the midst of the worsening violence in Iraq.
The UNHCR has sent an official warning notice to the Government saying that the continuing violence is too great to allow refugees to return safely. Tony Blair has claimed that daily life for most ordinary people inside Iraq has improved since the war, and that conditions are now stabilising."
