Refugees Could Sue Czech Republic in EU Court; Due to Their Kids Being Boxed in Detention Ctrs.

The Czech Republic may be sued at the Court of Justice of the EU (European Union) for placing refugees' children in detention facilities, Eliska Wagnerova, a senator and former Constitutional Court judge, told the public broadcaster Czech Television, the Prague Monitor website reports today (September 29, 2015).

Interior Minister Milan Chovanec took issue with her and argued that the Czech Republic fully observed the EU law.

Wagnerova said she had been appalled by the conditions in which refugees had to stay in the state-run facilities in the Czech Republic.

"I think the Czech Republic can easily face the charges of cruel, inhuman treatment that may be seen in the relationship by the children who should not be in the detention facilities at all," Wagnerova said.
