Bulgaria Destroys Refugee Camp, Aims to Expel 1,000 People

The country’s Prime Minister, Boykin Borisov said his government will expel more than 1,000 refugees from Bulgaria.
 
The move comes after a crowd of refugees rallied a protest over their unacceptable living conditions inside the camp.
 
The camp is a former army barracks near the border with Turkey which is now sealed off by the police saying the measure is to prevent a disease outbreak.   
 
Borisov said that they will “isolate those who do not want to obey rules.”
 
“I am very worried... You see there is no window left unbroken. The people who committed these acts of vandalism will be brought to justice,” added Borisov, who had canceled his visit to Hungary because of the riot.
 
According to the Interior Ministry, 24 police officers also sustained injuries during the clashes while more than 400 refugees were also arrested.
 
"Based on an agreement between the European Union and Afghanistan we have asked for a plane to start extraditing people there in early December. As for the rest, all who have acted brutally and violated public order will be moved to closed camps,” Borisov further told reporters.
 
The inhumane living conditions of refugees in camps across the EU has caused protests on different occasions, including French jungle camps that were brutally raided by police last month expelling all asylum seekers inside.
