Helsinki Human Rights Committee: The Government is dealing with the migrants in inadequate ways

-

The government does not have an adequate way of dealing with the migrant crisis, it uses force against migrants and doesn’t allow humanitarian activists to enter the boder zone to help the migrants, is the reaction of the Helsinki Human Rights Committee.

They say from there that the instituting of an emergency situation in the country must be brought in accordance with the Crisis Management Center and by a formal announcement by the National Assembly (Sobranie), which according to the Committee, did not happen.

-According to the Law for managing with crisis situation, the Government is obliged to notify the Sobranie for the proclamation of an emergency situation. Furthermore, the Crisis Management Center needs to conduct an analysis before that decision is made. The Center did not release the reasons why they have come to suggest for an emergency situation. What is more worrying is that we did not hear an approval from the Commander in Chief of the Army, President of Macedonia George Ivanov. From the video we saw that the police used tear-gas, shock bombs and rubber bullets. We called on the Minister of Interior, Chavkov, to come with a statement about who had given the order for the use of these inhumane measures. There is no coordinative body made of the ministries of Interior, Health and Labor. There are no ambulance vehicles. Except for the changing of the law, nothing else has been done to give the necessary help to the migrants- says Uranija Pirovska.

Mersiha Smailovikj of the NGO Legis says the conditions at border zone are inhumane and that their activists were forbidden entry there.
