Pakistani migrants escape from Kiskunhalas Reception Centre

On Tuesday György Bakondi, Chief Security Advisor to the Prime Minister, told Hungarian news agency MTI that seven migrants – most of them Pakistani citizens – had escaped from the Guarded Asylum Reception Centre in Kiskunhalas. Five men have already been apprehended by police and the authorities are still looking for two Pakistani migrants.

Bakondi explained that the reception facility in Kiskunhalas hosts migrants who are subject to legal proceedings. These illegal migrants decided not to wait for their proceedings to be completed, which means that by escaping they are continuing their illegal activity, he said.

The Chief Security Advisor said that the migrants first climbed over a fence around the sports field, and then over the facility’s stone perimeter wall.

On its website, Bács-Kiskun County Police Headquarters announced that the escape took place on 3 September at around 9 p.m.
