Yes, I'd like to respond to that question. It's a very good one.
In fact, my work as the director of our refugee program is global work, but much of my own research has been focused on Europe. I've done field work in Italy, Malta, Greece, Turkey, Slovakia, Hungary, Ukraine, and I'm probably missing a few off the top of my head.
What I've seen, particularly with the focus of my work, which is on asylum seekers, migrants, and refugees, is a high degree of xenophobia and street violence, in many cases directed against darker-skinned people, migrants in particular.
I've also been in the detention centres in most of those countries I just mentioned—including Greece, in particular, I'd like to point out, which is an EU country—and the conditions of detention there are absolutely inhuman and degrading. I myself documented cases where people were brutally pushed back across the border into Turkey. I also have been in the detention centres in Turkey, which are horrific.
We just published a report a couple of months ago on racist and xenophobic violence in Italy. Just last week we published a report on the discrimination against Roma, Jews, and other national minorities in Bosnia. These are reports that are essentially fresh off the press about, in the case of Italy, violence directed against dark-skinned people primarily. This is something we're seeing in Hungary and in many other places as well.
