Jolie appeals for the safe passage of Libyan refugees

Actress Angelina Jolie has appealed for the safe passage of refugees fleeing Libya.

In a statement, the UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador said, "We have to give people safe passage, evacuation if needed, and ensure they have asylum. We don't want to look back and find their deaths are on our hands".

Ms Jolie made the comments while touring a refugee camp in Afghanistan on behalf of the UN agency.
