Description
Stripped naked and turned away: an influx of migrants attempting to enter Bulgaria through Turkey have encountered tightened border security and are, in growing numbers, accusing the Bulgarian border force of mistreatment. "The police picked me up from the camp and took me a camp around 30 minutes away" recalls an anonymous Syrian migrant, "they kept us there and did not bring us food until the next day... they hit me on my head and back and I tried to escape". The Balkan nation has been faced with unprecedented numbers of migrants since the 2015 crisis, and saw an increase in the number of "irregular arrivals" on its territory last year.
