> Liberia’s agreement to receive people deported from the United States is presented as the latest in a history of unequal deals with Washington. The arrangement was not approved by Liberia’s legislature and is described as violating the Constitution and several UN conventions. The status and treatment of the deportees remain unclear, while some said they were detained without due process and shackled during the flight.
