Hungary: Children separated from families by police amid border chaos

 At least nine people including four children separated from their
families by Hungarian police during the breach of a border fence in
Röszke must be immediately released and reunited with their families,
said Amnesty International today.

Their exact whereabouts is unknown but they are thought to have been taken to a nearby border control building.

“The
families are desperate to be reunited with their children. Not only
have they experienced the traumatic journey to the border and the use of
force by the police – they have now lost the security of being with
their parents. The Hungarian authorities must immediately hand these
children over to their families,” said Tirana Hassan, Amnesty
International’s Crisis Response Director, who is at the scene.
