Title: Stuck in Jail: Immigration Detention in Hungary (2010)

Summary: The Hungarian Helsinki Committee (HHC) is non-governmental organisation, which monitors the enforcement of human rights enshrined in international human rights instruments; provides legal defence to victims of human rights abuses by state authorities and informs the public about rights violations. The HHC strives to ensure that domestic legislation guarantees the consistent implementation of human rights norms. The HHC promotes legal education and training in fields relevant to its activities, both in Hungary and abroad. The Hungarian Helsinki Committee has a long-standing experience in monitoring detention facilities in Hungary. It regularly monitors police jails which was made possible by an agreement concluded in 1997 with the National Police Headquarters. The agreement entitles the HHC monitors to:  visit any detention facility operated by the Police without preliminary notice;  examine the conditions of detention and talk to detainees to this end;  request and be provided with official data by the detention staff;  report about its findings to the Police, and after consultation with the latter, to the public. This report presents a comprehensive report on Hungarian immigration detention practices based on the findings of monitoring visits to “temporary” immigration jails throughout Hungary in 2010.
