World’s largest pencil maker accuses Costa Rica of misusing old factory as detention center
AI Summary
Faber-Castell, the world's largest pencil maker, is accusing Costa Rica of misusing a factory it donated for humanitarian purposes. In 2018, Faber-Castell gifted the factory to Costa Rica to be used as a shelter for migrants. However, the Costa Rican government has been using the facility, now called Centro de Atención Temporal para Migrantes (Catem), as a detention center for asylum seekers deported from the US. These deportees, who are not Costa Rican citizens, were sent to Costa Rica after being deported from the US following Donald Trump's return to the White House. Faber-Castell states that the contract stipulated the property was to be used as a humanitarian refugee center, not a prison, and was unaware of the change in use until recently.
