Dozens of detained Palestinian refugees in Hungary are witnessing assault,humiliation, and inhuman treatment after the Hungarian authorities insist to forcibly take their asylum fingerprints. This procedure will prevent them to join their families in other European countries; such as Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark, and other countries.
Meanwhile, the prison management deliberately terrorizes the Palestinian Syrian detainees in Ttbanya prison by punishing those who reject the fingerprint by putting them in the confinement prison, and depriving them of food and drink.
One of the refugees said that they were arrested by Hungarian authorities about two weeks ago on charges of illegal immigration, and among them there are women and children, and some patients need medical care.
About the treatment of the prison administration to them, he said: "It confiscated all their personal belongings and ID papers, and practiced psychological pressure and torture "starvation." He added that the prison administration told them earlier of the release date, but it breached their promises and has extended the period of imprisonment, because of not accepting asylum fingerprint known as "Dublin."
He added that," based on these non-humanitarian and ethical practices we decided to declare an open hunger strike in order to achieve our demands of release, not to extract our fingerprints, and to allow us heading to one of the European countries." He also said that the officer in charge of booking threatened them to cut off the internet and treating them cruelly if they did not end their strike and eat their food.
The detainees launched an appeal through the AGPS to the human rights and civil society organizations to intervene for their release after being arrested by Hungarian authorities on charges of illegal immigration.
It should be noted that the Palestinian Syrian and the Syrian immigrants have been fled from the hell of the conflict in Syria, in search of safety, security, and decent life, but they were shocked by the inhumane treatment they received in some of the countries of asylum
