Hungarian Experts: Rights Advocates and Border Camps

hungarian experts: Dimitris Avramopoulos said that EU and Hungarian experts will meet to discuss the new law, which has been sharply criticized by UN agencies and human rights advocates, according to Toronto Star. The new legislation is meant to complement the fences built by Hungary in 2015 and this year on the borders with Serbia and Croatia. Reuters By Pablo Gorondi The Associated Press Tues., March 28, 2017 BUDAPEST, HUNGARY Hungary's new legislation allowing for the detention of asylum-seekers in shipping containers at border camps took effect Tuesday, with the European Union's commissioner for migration saying that it needs to comply with the bloc's rules. The barriers have drastically reduced the number of migrants able to pass through the country on their way to Germany and other destinations in Western Europe. The European principles have been jointly and unanimously agreed by all member states and should therefore be respected and implemented by everyone, too. We decided to work together through our experts and ensure that EU rules also are complied with, Avramopoulos said after meeting with Hungarian officials. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
