Summary
The report is based on interviews with 161 refugees, migrants and asylum seekers in Ukraine, Slovakia and Hungary. It shows that although some conditions in migration detention facilities have improved, Ukraine subjects many migrants to inhuman and degrading treatment and has been unable or unwilling to provide effective protection for refugees and asylum seekers.
