U.N. Accuses Czech Republic of Systematically Violating Refugees' Rights 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
The United Nations has accused the Czech Republic of systematic human
rights violations over its treatment of refugees. The U.N. says Czech
authorities are detaining refugees for up to 90 days and strip-searching
them for money to pay for their own detention. Separately, the United
Nations has also said Britain must resettle more than 100 Syrian
refugees who landed at a British airbase on the island of Cyprus.
