Hungary closes border after 300 refugees escape from camp near Serbian border

Hungary

More than a thousand refugees, stranded for days at the Hungarian capital’s main train station, have left the station on foot for Austria.

The crowd intends to march 175 kilometers from Budapest to the border. The refugees belong to an estimated 2,000 people stuck in the railway’s temporary refugee camps. This came two days after a tense standoff between refugees and police after the asylum seekers were blocked from boarding trains to western European countries. The refugees refuse to register as asylum seekers in Hungary and insist that they be allowed to go in Germany or Austria. The refugees accuse Hungary of failing to live up to its commitments to deal with the crisis.
