As to whether it would not apply for a particular class I think this is untested - I am not aware of any cases. <br /><br />The Fleeing Homophobia report may have more on that but I haven't read the whole thing.paulocanninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499916652508144662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799086301071172468.post-21158405239964096312011-09-23T21:03:03.126+01:002011-09-23T21:03:03.126+01:00Would Poland be considered a "safe" retu...Would Poland be considered a "safe" return country by EU migration authorities, for purposes relating to LGBT applicants?<br /><br />I read from a document at refworld, that the EU migration authorities consider all EU member states, "safe". Have I misunderstood this? In one report dated in the late 90s, Belarus was even mentioned as being a safe return country. Is this still current? It would seem that could only be a general rule, and not one that would apply to all classes and cases, such as LGBT applicants.<br /><br />Paul, can you or anyone shed further light on any of this? And what about another EU state - Lithuania?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
