The migrants said they wished to call the attention of the international media to their situation so that they are released from the facility as soon as possible.

They said they protested against being “kept in custody” despite the fact that they have been fleeing war and murder. The migrants also protested against having been left in the dark for the past six months over their future.

They accused the Hungarian government of “trampling on” human rights and waging a “psychological warfare” against asylum-seekers.
