A special report by Hope Barker and Anas Ambri: The EU has been funding
new accelerated asylum and deportation procedures in Bulgaria, including
a new “assisted voluntary return” project. Increasing “voluntary”
returns is a key part of the plan to increase deportations from the EU,
with Frontex playing an increasing role. The project targets individuals
in detention. Experts question whether such procedures can ever be truly
voluntary.
