Chechen refugees get robbed and beaten in Slovakia

Chechen Press news agency has published the letter by Chechen refugees living in Slovakia. Magomed and Marimat Dashayev are reporting about the atrocities and harassment committed against Chechen refugees by Slovakian policemen and by the administration of Adamovo refugee camp (city of Adamov-Dvor).

«Upon our arrival to Adamovo refugee camp, the police took all of our money and gave us some checks in exchange. When we demanded that they return the money, the policemen stated that the money was seized as a fine for “illegally crossing into the territory of Slovakia».

We were shoved into a poky little room, where there already were several Chechen other refugees living. They told that the police took their money as well, and gave them the same checks that they gave us. But there is nothing you can buy on these checks and nobody knows what these papers are.

Several Chechen guys refused to give their money in exchange for those «checks», after which they were arrested and taken to the city of Adamov-Dvor. There the Chechens were handcuffed and the police brutally beat them. The police were asking them humiliating questions like «what’s a Chechen wedding night like?» etc.
