About 750 are survivors of genocide from the Darfur region while virtually all of the rest are Christians from South Sudan. Most of the refugees are young men however about 150 families (including approximately 400 children) and an estimated 100 unaccompanied minors (including 30 under the age of 16) are also located here. The High Court of Justice adopts the position of The Hotline For Migrant Workers and other human rights organizations, and orders the repeal of the policy which binds migrant workers to their employers The binding policy, in use already 13 years, was a central cause of grievous abuses of the basic rights of migrant workers in Israel and created a stage of “modern slavery” as defined by judge Cheshin. During 2005 alone, the hotline handeled the cases of more than 600 migrant worekrs that were imprisoned due to the fact that they lost their legal status as a result of the binding policy.
