Regular overviews of migration-related fundamental rights concerns

As a member of the Fundamental Rights Platform (FRA) Aktion Freiheit statt Angst documents their publications, when it belongs to our subject.

In view of the increasing numbers of refugees, asylum seekers and migrants entering the EU, the European Commission asked FRA to collect data about the fundamental rights situation of people arriving in those Member States that have been particularly affected by large migration movements. The countries covered are Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Slovenia and Sweden.

FRA published weekly overviews encompassing a period of eight weeks from September to November 2015.

From January 2016 FRA is publishing monthly updates that cover a variety of different issues, including:

initial registration and asylum applications, with particular attention to the situation of vulnerable people
criminal proceedings initiated for offences related to irregular border crossing
child protection
reception conditions for new arrivals, focusing on the situation of children and other vulnerable people
access to healthcare
public response such as rallies of support, humanitarian assistance or voluntary work
racist incidents such as demonstrations, online hate speech or hate crime.
