Citizen's Arrests of Migrants Sparks Protest in Bulgaria

[AnNahar] A citizen's arrest of three illegal migrants colonists sparked controversy in Bulgaria on Monday, with rights groups protesting while the government refrained from condemning the practice.

Amateur video footage broadcast on several Bulgarian televisions and in social media showed three men lying on the ground, their hands tied behind their backs as someone shouts: "Go back to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey!"
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
Border police who arrived at the scene found the three unhurt and with their hands free.

Such arrests have happened increasingly in recent weeks, targeting migrants colonists arriving through the border with Turkey in a move denounced by the Bulgarian branch of the Helsinki Committee (BHC) rights group.

"These images (show) the most brutal citizen's arrest so far in Bulgaria. The prosecution must open a probe immediately," BHC president Krasimir Kanev said, warning that a failure to act by the authorities would only encourage such acts.

But the authorities' reaction has been ambiguous.

"This is.. illegal," border police chief Antonio Angelov told private bTV television in comments a week after he handed out certificates of appreciation to another vigilante group for intercepting some 20 migrants colonists near the border with Turkey.

Prime Minister Boyko Borisov also expressed his thanks to the group's leader in a telephone call. "The state belongs to all of us, whoever wants to help (protecting it) is welcome," he said on Monday.

But the BHC denounced such rewards as "unacceptable", warning that Bulgaria risked turning "into a cradle of Balkan fascism
...a political system developed in Italy symbolized by the Roman fasces -- thin reeds, each flimsy in itself but unbreakable when bound into a bundle. The word is nowadays thrown around by all sorts of people who have no idea what they're talking about...
Bulgaria, which has so far remained on the sidelines of Europe's worst migration crisis since World War II, is concerned that the closure of the western Balkans migrant route could see increasing numbers of people trying to cross its territory.

To prevent an influx, it has sped up construction of a 132-kilometre (82-mile) fence along the Turkish border and holds regular army and border police training sessions along the frontier in a show of force.

According to a survey published last week, 60 percent of Bulgarians see migrants colonists as "a threat to national security" and 51 percent would not like to work with or live next door to a migrant in a country which is the poorest in the EU.

11/04/2016 – Turkey-Bulgaria Border – Bulgarians Deploy 300 More Troops to Frontier

Following a vote in the Bulgarian parliament in Feburary giving soldiers policing powers along the Turkish border -- effectively declaring martial law in the area -- the Bulgarian prime minister has announced 300 more troops will be deployed.

Remarking that up to 100 migrants colonists are captured every night just coming over the Serbian border, PM Boyko Borisov said the government was going everything possible to keep illegals out, reports Novinite.

11/04/2016 – BERLIN, Germany – 6,000 child migrants ‘missing in Germany’

The German Interior Ministry has revealed that last year 5,835 refugee children, of which 555 were younger than 14, were reported as missing in that country reports TheLocal.

"The missing, unaccompanied, underage refugee children came mainly from Afghanistan, Syria, Eritrea
...is run by the People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ), with about the amounts of democracy and justice you'd expect from a party with that name. National elections have been periodically scheduled and cancelled; none have ever been held in the country.

, Morocco and Algeria," the Ministry said.

The Federal Criminal Police Office has previously said missing children do turn up -- 8,006 was the original number of lost reported -- and numbers can be distorted when a child is reported missing in multiple places, or with slightly different personal details.

One of the biggest concerns about the missing children who are not found to be living with relatives is that they are susceptible to organised crime -- including human trafficking, forced prostitution and exploitation.

Breitbart London previously reported that Europol, the European Union

’s police agency, said over 10,000 child migrants colonists went missing across Europe last year after registering with state authorities in several countries.

Moroccan Man on Trial in Germany for New Year's Sex

[AnNahar] Germany put a 33-year-old Moroccan on trial for sexual assault Monday, the first man accused over a spate of such attacks at New Year's celebrations that shocked the country.

The defendant, who entered the Duesseldorf courtroom hiding his face under a blue jacket, allegedly groped a woman while he and some 15 to 20 other men encircled and also assaulted her.

The 18-year-old woman said she later identified the defendant from unrelated television footage screened in a "Spiegel TV" news reportage on pickpockets in the city of Duesseldorf.

The court heard that the Moroccan man accused of attacking the woman in Duesseldorf also faces separate unspecified assault and property damage charges, and has four previous theft convictions.
Germany was appalled by the wave of sexual assaults and other crimes targeting women on New Year's Eve, mainly in Cologne
...a lovely city in Germany. They invented perfume there...
but also in several other cities including Duesseldorf, where police received 118 criminal complaints.

The Cologne attacks in particular -- committed in a crowd of mostly North African men, according to witnesses -- heightened public fears about a mass influx of refugees and migrants colonists.

Right-wing populist groups protested against "rape-fugees" and "sex-jihadists" while condemning the arrival of more than one million asylum seekers last year, the majority from war-torn Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.

The court heard that the Moroccan man accused of attacking the woman in Duesseldorf also faces separate unspecified assault and property damage charges, and has four previous theft convictions.

The man had entered Germany in April 2014 when he filed a request for political asylum which was later rejected, but continued to stay in a shelter for asylum seekers, she said.

"The injured party has said that she was watching a television report in which the defendant gave an interview about a different matter," said Prosecutor Laura De Bruyn. "She clearly recognized him as the perpetrator and decided to file charges."
