Bulgaria trying to force out Syrian asylum seekers after fall of Assad

Exclusive: NGO finds Syrians subjected to interrogations and reportedly pressed into signing return documents

After the fall of Bashar al-Assad in Syria, Bulgaria is attempting to force out Syrian asylum seekers by reportedly pressing them into signing “voluntary return” documents, sometimes with the use of violence.

No Name Kitchen (NNK), a humanitarian organisation working with immigrants in the Balkans, has collected evidence of increased harassment of Syrian people on European borders since the Syrian opposition armed forces ousted the Assad family, ending a 54-year bloody regime.
