Dear all,
Please see here the latest update from Hungary. The continuous violence at the border is constantly shadowed by the politics of the referendum on the EU quota system that is approaching on October 2nd. We are all astounded by the magnitude of the Fidesz propaganda machine that is telling Hungarians to be xenophobic in order to "rescue Europe".
Civil society organizations have teamed up together in campaigning boycotting the referendum, but it is very difficult to operate in the current context where any subversive voice is drowned by the government's campaign posters, forums, TV ads, billboards, etc.
Anyway, here are several updates from our end, please share, tweet, etc. widely:Situation update from Belgrade on the violence on the border:http://www.migszol.com/blog/greetings-from-belgrade-from-the-other-side-of-the-fence

Finally, the show trial of Ahmed H., a Syrian man accused of terrorism by the Hungarian state, is approaching. A collective of activists from Hungary and abroad are organizing solidarity demonstrations and have set up this website on the matter: http://freetheroszke11.weebly.com/

This is a Migszol update from 5 August to 5 September. The month
has been characterized by increasingly
ruthless violence at the Serbian-Hungarian border, ever-growing
aggressive propaganda against migrants
of all kinds now that the national referendum is drawing closer,
and the heated international relations
between European states because of the insecure EU-Turkey deal.
