At the offices of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, a human rights group in Budapest, András Léderer and his colleagues have a map on which they track every asylum seeker â man, woman or child â who has been physically pushed back by police from the Hungarian border and into the forests of Serbia.
The pushbacks are illegal under international law. Yet it is Léderer and his fellow human rights activists who could face arrest and a jail sentence if they went to the border to witness what is happening there.
âWe arenât allowed to go to the border,â says Léderer. In 2018 it became illegal to help migrants claim asylum and this includes a ban on visiting the border. âUntil the Covid lockdown we went to Serbia to speak to people, to record the stories of violence and humiliation, but we canât even travel now.
