Concept
In Bulgaria, in violation of international and domestic legislation, authorities intern asylum-seekers in closed police institutions, depriving them of their most basic human right – the right to freedom.
In 2011, 588 asylum-seeking refugees were confined in police detention centres. 64 of them were children.
This is not simply illegal. It is inhumane. Make a change. Sign the petition at zakrila.bghelsinki.org.
* Use of documentary footage from the Temporary Accommodation Centre in Lyubimets.
