Röszke, Serbian-Hungarian border, September 2015
A Syrian father of four children comforting one of his sons after the long journey.
Thousands of political asylum seekers crossed the border between Hungary and Serbia, near Röszke. They have been transported by bus by the Hungarian police to the Austrian border. Hungary closed the border in the meantime and built a 170 km long, 4 meter high fence across Hungary’s border to Serbia, to stop the immigration from the war-torn Middle East and Afghanistan. With the new Hungarian law, crossing the border illegally is a crime that is punished with up to 5 years of prison.
Two days later, the Hungarian police used teargas and pepperspray against immigrants that tried to cross the border and many were injured, including women and children.

Nickelsdorf, Austria, September 2015
Thousands of refugees crossed the Austrian – Hungarian border at Nickelsdorf after some EU countries were sending them from one country to another. Hungary built a 170 km , 4 meter high fence at its border to Serbia to keep refugees out arriving on the Balkan route and is working on fences on the Romanian and on the Croatian side. Croatia doesn’t want the refugees either and is sending them back to Hungary. Hungary, at its turn, is sending them to Austrian border where the asylum seekers cross at Hegyeshalom / Nickelsdorf by foot. The Austrian authorities that actually planned a border control, gave up on this idea when thousands of refugees arrived and just let them in and organised buses that would take the people to shelters.
