Refugee Airlift Grounded, Aid Workers Arrested
Filed under: add to del.icio.us
Chad has charged nine French and seven Spanish nationals with fraud and abduction for attempting to illegally airlift 103 children to Europe. The flight was organized by a French charity called Zoe's Ark, which claims the children are displaced orphans from Darfur and that they were being taken abroad to receive medical treatment. The children were to be placed with European families, and Chad, which does not allow adoption, contends that the group's actions constitute kidnapping and is now investigating whether or not the children involved are actually orphaned.
