This Year's Deaths
This Year's Deaths Coalción de Derechos Humanos
counts the number of bodies recovered in Arizona
for the fiscal year, which begins October 1st,
and ends September 30th of every year. This will
be so that we can compare the numbers put out by
the government officials with those that we
gather, in collaboration with the Consular
offices and county medical examiners.

PRESS RELEASE The other asylum statistics 29 July
2003, 400pm
Governments count the numbers coming in. But who
counts the numbers that do not make it?
RESEARCH by the Institute of Race Relations has
found that, in the last 18 months, at least 742
lives have been lost on Europe's militarised
borders. The actual number of deaths is certainly
much higher, as only officially verified deaths
have been counted in this figure. In spite of the
vast human tragedy taking place on Europe's
periphery, the total number of people dying is
not known, as no EU body takes responsibility for
monitoring these deaths.
