Hungary, Croatia and other European nations have changed their immigration policies to welcome Ukrainian refugees. Activists have applauded the shift while also warning of discrimination against migrants from Afghanistan, the Middle East and Africa.
Hungarian police haven’t immediately responded to AP’s request for a comment on Qarizada’s expulsion in September.
“This is something that unfortunately has become normal, regular and something which cannot be considered as unusual,” Serbian rights lawyer Nikola Kovacevic said. Zsolt Szekeres from the Hungarian Helsinki Committee noted that “the government is trying their best to explain now why Ukrainians are good asylum-seekers and others are bad migrants.”
Qarizada’s deportation was even more drastic as he hadn’t arrived in Hungary along any illegal migration route. A self-financed student who shared an apartment and had an established life in Budapest, Qarizada sought asylum because the turmoil in Afghanistan meant his family could no longer pay his university fees and therefore he couldn’t renew his residence permit.
A Hungarian court has ruled in favor of Qarizada, but the lawyers are now waging another legal battle to force Hungarian authorities to implement the decision and allow him to come back, he added.
