Refugees are left on the streets after quarantine -Multeci Medyasi
Refugees who are quarantined after their wait at the border with Greece are left on the streets in the cities they do not live after quarantine. Refugees, who are asked to take care of themselves, have problems due to the curfew, high bus tickets and limited transit between provinces.
After the government announced that it would not prevent the refugees who want to cross into Europe, the refugees who went to the Greek border were taken to camps and return centers after a month’s wait due to the coronavirus epidemic.
Refugees, who were released after quarantine for more than 14 days, are asked to go to their home cities. However, almost all of the refugees living in metropolitan cities have problems due to the limited entrance and exit to metropolitan cities. All refugees do not have a road permit and cannot change provinces. Even if it is not possible to go to the cities they live due to the high intercity bus tickets.
Kocaeli
23 refugees, half of whom were left in the Gebze district of Kocaeli from Kırıkkale Pehlivanköy Removal Center, entered the curfew on the street. With the Tarlabaşı Solidarity moving the situation of refugees to social media, the refugees moved back to the repatriation center instead of the provinces they live in. According to the information given by the refugees, they were put on the bus again and sent to Kırıkkale as there was no place in the removal centers in Tuzla, Gebze and Istanbul.
Intellectual
19 refugees from Somalia and Kangolu, brought from Edirne to Aydın Removal Center, were released hours before the curfew. Refugees who could not find a bus to go to İzmir with their money gathered in Energy Park in Adnan Menderes District. Refugees were placed back in the center of repatriation, not because of their victimization, but on the grounds that the people of the environment were ’irritated’. While it is announced that the refugees will be sent to İzmir in the morning, refugees can be left once again during the hours when the streets are forbidden.
Samsun
Again, 30 Pakistani refugees whose quarantine period has expired at the Kırıkkale Pehlivanköy Removal Center were taken to Samsun by immigration management teams. Refugees will be released after the procedures here. Speaking to members of the press, a Pakistani refugee said, “We will be released here, but we have no relatives, money, home, anything. That’s why we want to go to Istanbul. We have relatives there. ” The report lacks information on whether refugees have been released.
Osmaniye
35 refugees who were released from the camp in Osmaniye were taken to Niğde Bus Terminal and left to their fate. Refugees started walking towards Ankara. Speaking to İsmail Arı from Birgün, the refugees said that they had been waiting for two days at the bus station in Niğde, saying that they were trying to sell bus tickets at exorbitant prices. We do not want to go to Niğde, we said, ’Take us to the cities we lived before.’ We were told, ’You will go to the cities we set’. The Niğde Immigration Administration gave us a travel document and then we were left to Niğde Bus Terminal with the police. We have no money to buy bus tickets. “A bus ticket is sold for an average of 300 TL. A person who just came to us said, ’I’ll take eight people to 2 thousand 500 TL.’ We are stuck here and there are children too. We’ve been here for two days,We did not eat and we started to walk from the edge of the highway due to desperation
Lived in Izmir
More than 200 refugees were asked to leave the Harmandalı Removal Center in Izmir and go to the cities they live in last week. Due to the high bus prices, refugees started to wait at Izmir Bus Terminal. After the refugees’ expectations were reflected in the press, the Migration Administration arranged buses and sent the refugees to the cities"
