# US withdrew restrictions on 11 country's refugees

The United States has lifted restrictions on refugees from 11 'high risk' countries. Only then will the refugees of these countries get access to the United States only after more stringent scrutiny and examination than ever before. This announcement was given on Monday.

On Tuesday (January 30th) international press reports, the announcement was made without mentioning the names of 'High Risk' countries. Even if the name is not announced, it is assumed that the majority of Muslim majority countries and enemy nationals of North Korea are indicated. The citizens of these countries will be nominated for shelter in the United States by checking through the strictest "risk-based" evaluation process.

US Homeland Security Minister Kirsten O'Leussen told reporters, "It is very important for us to know who is going to the United States, because of these additional security measures, it will be much harder to enter the United States for the sake of bad people. Through our country's security more sure It will be.

The administration of President Donald Trump, known for its radical anti-Muslim protests, banned the citizens of eight countries, including North Korea, in October of the year 2017. The countries are Venezuela, Libya, Shad, Syria, Iran, Yemen, Somalia and North Korea.

Although not mentioning the names of the 11 countries which are called 'high risk' countries, many groups of pro-refugees say that the list of these countries will be mainly in Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Mali, North Korea, Somalia, South Sudan , Sudan, Syria and Yemen

A senior official unwilling to disclose the name of the US administration claims to journalists that the administration is not adversely to Muslims or is not being targeted for Muslim discrimination.

In his words, "This extra protection system has not been taken to target Muslims. We do not have any issues with religion or any religious community. "
