Amnesty International: Bulgaria has no plan for integration of acknowledged refugees

The human rights organization Amnesty International criticizes Bulgaria, in its annual report, for its approach to migrants. In 2015 authorities registered a fourfold increase in the number of refugees and migrants having entered BULGARIA through the border with Turkey; and that after a considerable decrease in their number in 2014 after the introduction of tighter measures for protecting the border. The report further claims that people, looking for international protection and trying to enter Bulgaria through border control checkpoints, have been turned away. In October a national of Afghanistan died after being hit by a ricocheted bullet from a warning shot produced by a policeman near the Bulgarian-Turkish border. Bulgaria’s Helsinki Committee voiced concern over the discrepancies between the versions of the authorities and the investigation, Amnesty International further maintains.
