The report, which was published on Monday, reveals the scope of repression of migrants in Europe, illegal practice of migrant expulsion to prevent access to the asylum procedure, the right to EU legislation and international law.
Collecting data from government services, non-governmental organizations and the Coalition concluded that last year “at least” 120,457 migrants were returned, which means that migrants were removed from the national territory without the possibility of submitting international protection and without individual assessment.
The repression of migrants was “often” performed by violence, the report, notes that asylum seekers were beaten from border policemen, left at sea or died from the cold in the forests.
The total number of 120,457 refers to the suppression of migrants from the EU to EU countries, excluding incidents between Member States. (Migrants who were rejected on different occasions were counted separately.)
Bulgarian is in front of 2024. year with 52,534 returned migrants towards Turkey. FRONTEX, EU border agency, allegedly “prevented” to access areas that are allegedly happening to happen, which limits the efficiency of its human rights officer.
After Bulgaria followed by Greece (14,482), Poland (13,600), Hungary (5.713), Latvia (5,388), Croatia (1,905) and Lithuania (1,002).
Migrant’s suppression for a long time represent a frequent topic of disagreements within the European Union, especially after the migrant crisis 2015-2016. years, and they caused criticism against border police officers, encouraging internal investigations, media findings and lawsuits.
– The number of returned migrants at the external borders of Europe increased sharply in the last year, to the extent that they became a systemic practice within the EU Migration Policy – the reports of the report.
