I wonder if I could bounce off you a complaint that I've received through the Armenian community, who said that in three cases they've documented, applicants for refugee status at the Beirut mission were refused on the grounds that the applicants didn't meet the criteria of a “well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race [or] religion”. In fact, these individuals escaped Aleppo, where they were persecuted. They were driven from their homes and their cathedral was deliberately targeted.
I'm wondering whether you have heard from your refugee applicants similar stories about the denial of Christian risk in Lebanon.
