This 76-page
report documents how in recent months Bulgarian border police, often using
excessive force, have summarily returned people who appear to be asylum seekers
to Turkey. The people have been forced back across the border without proper
procedures and with no opportunity to lodge asylum claims. Bulgaria should end
summary expulsions at the Turkish border, stop the excessive use of force by
border guards, and improve the treatment of detainees and conditions of
detention in police stations and migrant detention centers.
