Refugees in Bulgaria camp demand passage to Western Europe
‘Hundreds of refugees and asylum seekers have staged a protest at a camp in Bulgaria, demanding permission to continue their journey toward Western Europe, a rights group says.
According to the Bulgarian Helsinki Committee for Human Rights, some 300 people demonstrated on Monday at the Harmanli reception center, Bulgaria’s largest refugee camp near the Turkish border.
“They are protesting the fact that they’re being held in Bulgaria against their will and want to continue to Serbia and from there to (Western) Europe,” said Iliana Savova, the spokeswoman for the rights group.’
