Reports are emerging of widespread violence against refugees and migrants held at a Bulgarian detention centre on July 26th. Detainees and activists allege police officers engaged in “merciless” and indiscriminate beatings following the escape of two individuals. The violence reportedly targeted all detainees, regardless of involvement in the escape. Bulgarian authorities have yet to comment or provide an explanation for the alleged events. The claims raise serious concerns regarding the treatment of migrants within Bulgaria’s detention facilities. Investigations are urgently needed to determine the veracity of these accusations and hold any perpetrators accountable. The lack of official response is further fueling concerns about transparency and human rights practices.
