31 people, 20 of them minors, were found by the police, next to a river in Croatia. They were forced to sit on the ground, and one by one they were ordered to stand up. Eight police officers came, six of whom were border police, were there with a white van and a police car. They asked if anyone spoke English and said to them in Croatian “son of a bitch”. The group of people tried to cover themselves with jackets. They broke the glasses of one person, took all their cell phones, kept the good ones and the others they destroyed.
