Croatian police accused of burning asylum seekers’ phones and passports

Exclusive: photos of burnt belongings - including documents needed to apply for asylum - are the latest alleged evidence of brutality on EU borders

Croatia's border police force appear to be burning clothing, mobile phones and passports seized from asylum seekers attempting to cross into the European Union before pushing them back to Bosnia.

A report with photographs of burnt belongings, along with testimonies of sexual assault and beatings meted out by the police, shared with the Guardian by the humanitarian organisation No Name Kitchen (NNK), are the latest alleged evidence of brutality against people migrating at EU borders.
