ECtHR ruling: Hungary unlawfully detained, mistreated Iranian Christian, must pay compensation
Change language:
The Hungarian state violated Iranian Christian A.P.’s human rights when it unlawfully detained him for more than a year and even starved him in the Röszke transit zone, ruled the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) today. The Hungarian Helsinki Committee’s client will receive a fair compensation of 5,000 euros.
“Although the transit zones were dismantled in May 2020, the ECtHR is still investigating numerous complaints of people unlawfully detained in Hungary’s Röszke and Tompa transit zones. Today’s judgment is just about one case of the countless,” the Hungarian Helsinki Committee wrote in a statement.
A.P. entered Hungary legally in September 2018 at the transit zone in Röszke. He applied for asylum, which the Hungarian authorities routinely rejected without any substantive examination, claiming that Serbia was a safe country for asylum purposes, so he was not entitled to protection in Hungary.
This assertion was so far from reality that neither the UNHCR nor most EU member states consider Serbia a safe country for refugees (either then or now). After all, in 2020, the domestic authorities finally started to examine the Iranian man’s asylum application in a fair procedure, and they granted him refugee status. But he had a lot to go through before then.
Persecuted for his Christian religion at home
After being persecuted for his Christian religion at home, the man was detained in the transit zone for 379 days – during which he had to spend half a year under incredibly harsh conditions in the alien policing sector. He was not allowed to meet anyone, not even the UN staff, and he had no idea how long he would be detained. He committed no offence; he just asked the Hungarian state for protection as a persecuted person. The authorities even starved him, then gave him food after three days only because the ECtHR ordered them upon the Hungarian Helsinki Committee’s interim measure request.
Iranians were not invited, did not want to enter legally. Hope they were deported. Outlaw Hungarian Helsinki committee, it is not working for the good of Hungarians. Just ignore all court orders not issued by Hungarian courts.
100% correct mariavontheresa. When will Europeans wake up and realise that We are not the saviour’s of humanity! Foreigners, including this Iranian, have no more entitlements to ANY European country, than a European national would have in any non-European country, including in Iran! I mean just imagine a Hungarian citizen, let alone a Hungarian christian, turning up on the doorsteps of Iran, demanding rights, any rights, including asylum in that country!!! Preposterous!
DEMOGRAPHY IS DESTINY!
INVITE THE THIRD-WORLD, BECOME THE THIRD-WORLD!
EUROPE IS FOR EUROPEANS/WHITES ONLY AND FOR NO ONE ELSE!!!
EUROPEAN NATIONS ARE FOR INDIGINEOUS EUROPEAN CITIZENS OF THOSE NATIONS, AND FOR NO ONE ELSE!
It is high time the Europeans/Whites started reasserting their glorious legacy, because there are many forces out there who hate European Peoples and their Nations, and rejoice at nothing less than Our complete destruction!
Lastly, this is one despicably biased reporting in favour of changing the demoraphy of Hungary/European Nation States by uncontrolled mass-immigration from the third-world! You should be ashamed of yourselves, and I highly doubt that whoever wrote this article and approved it for publication, has an once of European loyalty in their blood!!!
