Video has emerged showing a Bulgarian vigilante group ordering three tied-up Afghan nationals to go “back to Turkey” after they crossed the border.

The restrained men can be seen handcuffed, lying face down as the vigilantes stand over them – one man can be seen holding a machete.

The ‘citizen’s arrest’ took place in the mountainous area of Strandja, on the border with Turkey.

Bulgarian authorities have launched an investigation into the incident and one man has been arrested.

...

Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Boiko Borisov initially praised the vigilantes, insisting that protecting the country’s borders was a joint effort.

Following a backlash from human rights groups, Mr Borisov retracted his comment.

Interior Minister Rumyana Buchvarova wrote on Facebook: "Today we must be careful not only of illegal border crossings, but also of those who want to benefit from them. For money or for cheap and dangerous glory.”

“There is nothing but the competent authorities, who can decide what's appropriate when it comes to refugees.”

Vigilante action in Bulgaria has increased this year as the refugee crisis continues to grip Europe.

Dinko Valev, a semi-professional wrestler, was dubbed a “superhero” by a Bulgarian television channel after “hunting” migrants on the border while riding his quad bike.

Tensions have grown in the country with the arrival of 30,000 migrants in 2015. Border police say they have detained around 10,000 migrants from Syria and Afghanistan in the first three months of 2016

We live in a competitive world, if countries do not protect their own borders they do not deserve to survive, the prunes which govern us

do not seem to see this.

Ask the Palestinian Arabs? see what happened because they could not defend their borders, sadly prevented by us.

This is a hard world, dog eat dog.

The only way to stop it is to create a fair, safe World where people do not have to move.....

In Britain of course we have "Rights' groups trying to AID the movement of illegal immigrants and criminals INTO this country.

We have even witnessed some delusional British politicians purposely travelling to Calais to give comfort and encouragement to this criminal endeavour.

Any Briton who has been to the Calais camp should be charged with treason.

That would sort out the gent that gave them bycycles,the Unite union official who tried to sign them up and those no border traitors.
