VOICED : Hungria detendra a todos los demandantes de asilo

The Hungarian Parliament has reinstated the systematic detention of asylum seekers, a practice previously abolished in 2013 due to EU and UN pressure. The new law, passed with a significant majority, mandates that migrants be held at the borders while awaiting asylum decisions. Human rights organizations have criticized this measure, which applies to both new arrivals and those already in Hungary. The government justifies the law by citing a migration emergency, although current asylum seeker numbers are low. During the 2015 refugee crisis, Hungary became a key transit country and erected border fences. In 2016, only a small fraction of asylum applications were approved.
