- 11 Nov 2015 8:00 AM
At present 442 illegal immigrants are in detention in Hungary waiting for legal proceedings on their deportation to run their course, the Immigration and Citizenship Office told Magyar Idõk on Tuesday. National Police said another 638 migrants who have been convicted of illegal border entry are held in 10 prisons or police stations.
Courts have ordered that they be sent back to Serbia, as a safe third country, but Serbia is refusing to receive any refugees since Hungary erected a fence along the common border.
