Bosnia book withdrawn

DENMARK: The refugee aid committee, Dansk FlygtningehjAlp, has withdrawn a new textbook that calls refugees from the conflict in Bosnia “traitors and criminals of the worst possible kind”.

Nobody at Dansk FlygtningehjAlp had read it until a volunteer Bosnian teacher arrived and was able to tell the aid committee about the book’s content.
