HRW Report: Containment Plan
Bulgaria’s
Pushbacks and Detention of Syrian and Other Asylum Seekers and
Migrants
April 2014
This 76-page report documents how in recent
months Bulgarian border police, often using excessive force, have
summarily returned people who appear to be asylum seekers to Turkey. The
people have been forced back across the border without proper
procedures and with no opportunity to lodge asylum claims. Bulgaria
should end summary expulsions at the Turkish border, stop the excessive
use of force by border guards, and improve the treatment of detainees
and conditions of detention in police stations and migrant detention
centers.
