Stuck in a Revolving Door

Iraqis and Other Asylum Seekers and Migrants at the Greece/Turkey Entrance to the European Union

By: Bill Frelick,Human Rights Watch (Organization)

This report is about obstacles placed at the Greek entrance to the EU that prevent Iraqis and other asylum seekers and migrants from entering the European Union or that summarily expel them when they do. It includes testimonies from Iraqis and other asylum seekers and migrants on both sides of the Greek-Turkish border about pushbacks and summary expulsions from Greece, inhuman and degrading conditions of detention in Greece, Greek police and coast guard brutality and harassment, and the blocking of access to asylum in Greece as well as the denial of asylum and other forms of protection to those needing it. This report is also about abusive treatment of migrants by Turkish border authorities in the border region with Greece, including inhuman and degrading conditions of detention in direct violation of Turkey's obligations under the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR).

Pushed Back, Pushed Around

Italy's Forced Return of Boat Migrants and Asylum Seekers, Libya's Mistreatment of Migrants and Asylum Seekers

By: Bill Frelick,Human Rights Watch (Organization)

This 92-page report examines the treatment of migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees in Libya through the eyes of those who have managed to leave and are now in Italy and Malta. It also documents Italy's practice of interdicting boats full of migrants on the high seas and pushing them back to Libya without the required screening"--Human Rights Watch web site.

Sinai Perils

Risks to Migrants, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers in Egypt and Israel

By: Human Rights Watch (Organization),Bill Van Esveld

Since 2006, over 13,000 refugees, asylum seekers, and other migrants have passed through Egypt and crossed the Sinai border into Israel. The majority arrived in Israel since 2007; at times, in early 2008, over 100 people per night reportedly crossed the border. Both Egypt and Israel have responded to this cross-border flow with policies that violate fundamental rights. These violations, particularly on the Egyptian side, have become more numerous and more acute over the past year. In August 2007, Egyptian border police shot and beat to death four people trying to cross from Egypt into Israel, according to Israeli soldiers who said they witnessed the killings. The Israeli soldiers, who believed the migrants were Sudanese, were close enough to hear the migrants "screeching in pain until they died," one soldier said. Egyptian border police have killed at least 33 migrants and wounded dozens more attempting to cross into Israel since the first known fatality, a pregnant Darfuri woman, died in June 2007.

Buffeted in the Borderland

The Treatment of Asylum Seekers and Migrants in Ukraine

By: Bill Frelick,Simone Troller,Human Rights Watch (Organization)

Some migrants recounted how officials tortured them, including with electric shocks, after they were apprehended trying to cross into the EU or following their deportation from Slovakia and Hungary. Ukraine's asylum system is deeply dysfunctional and rife with corruption. Ukrainian law does not provide for protection of those who flee generalized violence and war, or for trafficking victims. No Somali nationals and only one unaccompanied child are known to have been granted refugee status. The latter are barred from entering asylum procedures altogether in some regions of the country. This report includes the accounts of asylum seekers, including unaccompanied children, who managed to leave Ukraine and enter the EU at its eastern border, but whom Slovak or Hungarian border authorities quickly returned without allowing them to register asylum claims or challenge their deportation to Ukraine.

Ad Hoc and Inadequate

Thailand's Treatment of Refugees and Asylum Seekers

By: Bill Frelick,Adam Saltsman

This 143-page report finds that Thai refugee policies are not grounded in law and cause refugees of all nationalities to be exploited and unnecessarily detained and deported. The report focuses on the plight of Burmese refugees, the largest current refugee group in Thailand. It examines treatment and conditions of both Burmese refugees inside the camps on the Thai-Burma border and Burmese outside the camps, who are not officially recognized as refugees. The report also looks at the impact of political changes in Burma on the prospects for repatriation and the obstacles to resolving this protracted refugee situation"--Publisher's website.

"Our Homes are Not for Strangers"

Mass Evictions of Syrian Refugees by Lebanese Municipalities

By: Bill Frelick

This report documents inconsistencies in the reasons municipalities have given for expelling Syrians and the failure of the central government to protect refugees’ rights. United Nations officials identified 3,664 such evictions from 2016 through the first quarter of 2018. While Lebanese municipal authorities make tepid claims that the evictions were based on housing regulation infractions, Human Rights Watch found the measures taken by these municipalities have been directed exclusively at Syrian nationals, and not Lebanese citizens or other foreign nationals."--Publisher website, viewed May 2, 2018.

Containment Plan

Bulgaria's Pushbacks and Detention of Syrian and Other Asylum Seekers and Migrants

By: Bill Frelick,Lydia Gall,Human Rights Watch (HRW)

This 76-page report documents how in recent months Bulgarian border police, often using excessive force, have summarily returned people who appear to be asylum seekers to Turkey. The people have been forced back across the border without proper procedures and with no opportunity to lodge asylum claims. Bulgaria should end summary expulsions at the Turkish border, stop the excessive use of force by border guards, and improve the treatment of detainees and conditions of detention in police stations and migrant detention centers."--Publisher's website.

The Venezuelan Exodus

The Need for a Regional Response to an Unprecedented Migration Crisis

By: Tamara Taraciuk Broner

The massive emigration of Venezuelans has generated the largest migration crisis of its kind in recent Latin American history. The Venezuelan Exodus provides an overview of where the more than 2.3 million Venezuelans who have left the country since 2014 are now living, the conditions they face, their prospects of obtaining legal status in host countries, and applicable international standards that should guide host governments' response."--Page 4 of cover.
