Vodenje postopkov: PP Črnomelj

Kaj se je zgodilo z osebami: 9 oseb iz Alžirije, Maroka, Zahodne Sahare in Sirije. 8 ljudi je bilo verižno vrnjenih v BiH, 1 mladoletni osebi so slovenski policisti omogočili zaprositi za azil.

Kaj se je dogajalo: Okoli 7.00 zjutraj na 4.10.2018 se je javila skupina 9 oseb. Poslali so imena, rojstne datume in države ter lokacijo. Prav tako so sporočili, da ima mladoletnik v skupini ranjeno nogo. Nekaj čez 10.00 dopoldan je bila na njihovo željo obveščena policija o njihovi lokaciji in nameri za zaprositev za azil. Obveščene so bile PP Črnomelj, PP Kočevje, Generalna policijska postaja, pisarna Varuha človekovih pravic in pisarna Amnesty International v Sloveniji.

Pričevanje osebe iz skupine o dogajanju na PP Črnomelj (intervju posnet 27.10.2018): Intervjuvanec je povedal, kako ga je skupaj s skupino osmih oseb slovenska policija ujela v gozdu na lokaciji, ki so jo poslali na telefon Info Kolpa. Ko so jih ujeli, so dejali, da hočejo azil, vendar mu je »policija rekla, 'nimamo azila za vas'« (»The police tell me, we don’t have asylum for us«). Nato so jih odpeljali na policijsko postajo. Tam so prenočili dva dni v priporu. Po besedah intervjuvanca, je nekaj oseb nosilo tudi vojaške uniforme. Prevajalec na PP je opravil intervju, v katerem je dejal, da v Sloveniji ne dajejo azila. Na njegov odgovor, da hoče v Slovenijo, mu je prevajalec odvrnil »ne poznaš Slovenije« (»He tell me you don’t know Slovenia«). Potem je morali podpisati dokumentacijo v slovenščini brez prevodov, prav tako prevajalec ni želel prevesti dokumentov. Skupini so odvzeli prstne odtise in jih fotografirali, nakar so jih z avtom odpeljali na hrvaško mejo in jih predali hrvaški policiji. Takole je opisal dogodke na slovensko-hrvaški meji: »Ja na meji, smo dali denar. In denar mojega prijatelja, dal [je] 100€ in drug prijatelj 5€, in telefon, samo en telefon.« (»Yes in border, we give money. And phone. And the money of my friend, give 100 and the other friend 5 euro and phone, just one phone.«). Ti so jih potem odpeljali na policijsko postajo nekje na Hrvaškem potem pa s kombijem na zeleno mejo z Bosno, kjer so jih pregnali na drugo stran meje. Intervjuvanec je poskušal prečkati mejo sedemkrat, dvakrat ga je slovenska policija prisilno izgnala in ga predala hrvaški policiji.
