Another humanitarian scandal

Four women who were victims of labor trafficking turned themselves in to the Icelandic authorities. The four women were immediately arrested and handcuffed and placed in solitary confinement. Their phones were taken from them and no one was allowed to have a conversation with them. 
 A few days later they were put on a plane and first flown to Germany and refueled and then they were flown to an unnamed African country where they were left at the airport. 

 This procedure received criticism in the Althing, but the Minister of Justice Gudrun Hafsteinsdóttir says that the case does not concern her.

The current three-party government is mainly right-wing and increasingly opposed to the presence of foreigners in the country.
