Why don’t refugees want to be fingerprinted?
I understand this question refers to refugees or asylum petitioners in Europe. This does not need to apply elsewhere.
The reason is the Dublin Protocol, which states the European Country responsible for asylum application
of a specific refugee or migrant. Basically, the country where they
have first been fingerprinted. Any refugee or irregular migrant
identified and fingerprinted in UK, Germany, Norway… who had been
already fingerprinted in Greece, Spain or Italy will be sent back to
that country of first identification.
