According to the UNHCR, as of August 2016 there are 13.110 refugees in Indonesia, whose legal state is unclear due to the fact that the Indonesian government has neither signed the UN Refugee Convention, nor does it have any asylum laws at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indonesia is especially attractive as a place of transition due to its proximity to Australia, as well as its size. The Indonesian archipelago stretches far, reaching 40,000 km in length, and, because of its permeable border, offers refugees many ways to easily enter and\/or exit the country. The Indonesian government attempts to take accepted refugees to third countries and to deport those whose requests for asylum are rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this Asian country, there are no laws or regulations which make it possible for refugees to assimilate to the country and its society. During the first half of the year 2016, the UNHCR relocated 322 refugees who were staying in Indonesia \u2013 147 were taken to Australia, four to Canada and 171 to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of those seeking asylum in Indonesia are members of the Hazara. They are an ethnic group, largely from Pakistan, which has been and continues to be persecuted to extreme levels. The Hazara people are easy to distinguish from the rest of the Pakistani population due to their Central Asian features. However, the government of Pakistan does not do anything to stop this genocide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Participating author: Mohammed Hanif<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/literaturfestival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Indonesien.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47431\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mohammed Hanif was born in Okara, Pakistan in 1965.
