Rigardu has launched a website documenting push-backs and violence against refugees by EU countries, mainly on Serbia’s border with Hungary and Slovenia. Refugees and migrants attempting to cross from Serbia into neighbouring European Union countries have endured illegal deportations and widespread police violence, including beatings and electric shocks, according to a report by a watchdog group. The findings by German monitor, Rigardu, paint a grim picture of systematic abuse on the borders of Serbia – which is not an EU country – and Hungary and Croatia, which are both members of the bloc. read more

Aktuelle Berichte über Sklavenmärkte in Libyen, auf denen Asylsuchende und Migrant_innen verkauft wurden, haben zu einem Aufschrei unter Mitgliedstaaten der EU und AU sowie zu raschen Reaktionen geführt. Ob die versprochenen Maßnahmen jedoch im Sinne der Betroffenen sind, ist zu bezweifeln: besonders schutzbedürftige Asylsuchende werden in ihre Heimatländer zurückgeschickt, anstatt legalen Zugang zur EU zu erhalten. Die Rechte von Migrant_innen und Asylsuchenden werden in libyschen Hafteinrichtungen schwerwiegend verletzt. Gründe für diese gravierenden Menschenrechtsverletzungen sind im libyschen Recht zu finden, welches „illegale Migration“ kriminalisiert, in der politisch chaotischen Situation im Land sowie in den Anstrengungen der EU-Mitgliedstaaten, die Zahl der ankommenden Geflüchteten an europäischen Küsten drastisch zu verringern. read more
