A group of 5 people from Afghanistan crossed to Croatia. They were arrested by the Croatian police 20 kilometers from the Serbian/Croatian border. When they asked for asylum the police answered positively saying : « Yes, I give you asylum ». One police officer declared he was going to make a phone call in order to take them to Zagreb. Then, a police van arrived and they were told that they were going to be deported to Serbia. And the police officers proceeded to violently attack them, beating and insulting them repeating « picku matre ». The police beat them again at the deportation point, not far from Sid, and left them in a deserted area.
