The protesters were headed for Strasbourg
Most of the 200 Chechen, Ingush, and Georgian asylum-seekers who were detained at the Polish-German border today are being sent to a refugee center in Warsaw, RFE/RL’s North Caucasus Service reports.
Refugees told RFE/RL that a small group of refugees who organized the attempt to go by train to France are being questioned by Polish authorities at the border town of Zgorzelec, where the train was stopped by officials before it entered Germany.
The protesters — who boarded the train without tickets — told RFE/RL they wanted to go to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg to highlight their poor living conditions in Polish refugee centers and police abuse they said they have experienced.
The refugees have reportedly been refused political asylum in Poland
