Asylum seekers in Hungary at risk of deportation to Serbia
The commissioner stressed that "in recent months a considerable proportion of those returned to Hungary under the Dublin III Regulation were detained in asylum detention centers - where a restrictive detention regime applies - without real access to effective remedies against such detention," the CoE said in a statement.He also noted that "persons currently returned to Hungary under the Dublin III Regulation do not, as a rule, have their asylum applications examined on the merits."
"This is due to Hungarian legislation that considers Serbia – the country through which the vast majority of asylum seekers initially arrived to Hungary - as a safe third country," the statement said.
This situation "also exposes them to a very high risk of being subjected to deportation to Serbia and to further refoulement to other countries,” Muiznieks warned.
