Video Shows Refugees Fed 'Like Animals in Pen' in Hungary Camp


THE TELEGRAPH: Austrian volunteer who filmed footage in Hungary's Roszke camp says treatment of refugees "like Guantanamo in Europe"

Disturbing footage emerged on Friday of the way migrants are being treated inside Hungary's main refugee camp on the border with Serbia, with images showing families fed "like animals in a pen".

The video, shot secretly by an Austrian volunteer who visited the flashpoint Roszke camp on Wednesday, shows some 150 people wildly scrambling for bags of sandwiches thrown at them by Hungarian police wearing helmets and hygiene masks in a fenced-in enclosure inside a big hall.

Hungarian police said on Friday they had launched an investigation into the video.

In an e-mailed response, police said they had launched an "emergency enquiry" into the matter, describing it as a fact-finding investigation, without elaborating. (+ video) » | Telegraph Video, and AFP, video source Michaela Spritzendorfer-Ehrenhauser | Friday, September 11, 2015
