Seuraan edelleen Subotican ja entisen tiimini tapahtumia siellä. Alla yksi viime aikaisista keisseistä, joiden jälkiselvittelyssä ja hoitamisessa tiimi on auttanut. Vastaavia meillä oli siellä vastassa yhtenään. Kuin karmivat asumisolot, taudit, kylmyys ja nälkä ei olisi jo tarpeeksi.
Victim: male, born in Pakistan, age 30
On Friday the 13th of January I crossed he Hungarian border near the
Horgos crossing. There were 55 of us in the group at the beginning and
we all crossed over onto the Hungarian side. Then we separated and 12
of us, including myself, got caught by the Hungarian police about 2
kilometers from the border fence. Four policemen approached us in a
marked police car, they had two dogs with them. First thing they did
was to spray our eyes with tear gas so we couldn’t see clearly. I
tried so hard to open my eyes and remember their faces or numbers on
their uniforms but the tear gas made it impossible. I can only say
that they were young men, age 20-22 and that their uniforms were blue.
They asked about our nationality and started shouting “No Hungary for
you!”, calling us terrorists, Taliban, etc.
Meanwhile two other police cars came with 8 men and 4 dogs. I remember
one of them was an older, fat man. They had us all sit in a puddle,
knee deep. One of us, a 13 year old boy couldn’t stop crying because
of the tear gas so they moved him from the front to the back of the
line, so he was sitting next to me. He kept crying and they were
laughing at him and hitting him with police batons saying “Shut up!
Shut up!”. He was the youngest of us but there were three other minors
in the group.
The policemen ordered us to put our hands up and open our jackets so
they could hit us on ribs and stomachs. Some of them were using
plastic batons while the rest was armed with metal ones. Afterwards
they searched us, one man at the time, while the rest of us remained
sitting in water. They had each of us stand up so they could remove
our warm clothing, jackets, gloves, hats, trousers (if someone was
wearing more than one pair). They destroyed the dinars they found on
us and put our euros in their pockets. They smashed our phones on the
ground.
During the search we had to hold our hands up in the air in the
strong, cold wind. After the search was done they still had us sitting
in the puddle, but this time ordered us to put our hands on the next
person’s shoulders and started hitting us on our ribs with police
batons. One of the policeman stood on shoulders and started laughing
and jumping on him. Then they told us to stand up but keep the line
and released the dogs on us from the right side. When some of us tried
to move to run away from the dogs they were beaten again and forced
back to the “line” They kept laughing and shouting “keep the line,
keep the line!”.
Then they called the dogs off but told us to remain in line. They went
behind us so we couldn’t see them and started tapping us on the
shoulders. Anytime one of us turned around to look at them, the
policeman would say “hello” and spray tear gas in our eyes again. They
didn’t let us clean our faces, saying that they should stay that way.
Afterwards they took us to the police van, hitting our calves with
batons when we were walking. They didn’t let us enter the part of the
van meant for transporting people, instead they crammed us in the
luggage space, hitting and pushing us in order to do so, as there was
not enough space for 12 people there.
They took our backpacks out, threw away all the water and food they
found. Hard fruits such as apples and oranges were thrown in our
faces. Then we were transported to the gate. There was not enough
space to sit so we had to stand all the way. Another Hungarian
policemen came with keys to open the gate but then the older military
man (different uniform) approached us telling the rest to wait. He
took out his can of gas and sprayed our faces again. Then the
policemen took pictures of us ordering us to open our eyes. As we
couldn’t do so because of the tear gas, they started hitting us again,
forcing us to look into the camera. When we still couldnt ope our eyes
, we ere made to use our fingers to hold open ur eyelids. Then they
brought us to the fence, and said “This is your language, read!”.
There was a sign on the border fence which we were forced to read
aloud, saying that we didn’t experience any physical or verbal abuse
from Hungarian authorities. They recorded each of us reading. At the
time we were saying that we hadn’t experienced any abuse the dogs were
released on us again, just circling around our legs, below the point
where the camera could see them. Then they let us through the fence
and ordered us to go back to Serbia. There was no Serbian police on
the other side.
The whole thing lasted around 2 hours, as we got caught at 7pm and
reached the gas station in Horgos at 9:30.
