After an outrage among its citizens, South Korea refused to give refugee status to around 400 Yemeni asylum seekers.
Local people here are worried, we have all read about the problems that immigrants have caused in Europe — in Germany and France in particular — and we do not want that to happen here
Earlier this year, a new visa programme that was used by the Yemeni asylum seekers to enter South Korea, led to protests and the launch of a petition.
Yemen that is known for being an Islamic society, is in a war with Saudi Arabia and Muslim asylum seekers have left the country in droves.
But many South Koreans don’t want Muslim refugees. More than 714,000 South Koreans signed a petition against their government’s refugee friendly migration policy.
