Alexandra Foreman and Sermad Al-Khafaji were filming refugees seeking asylum from Turkey when they were detained
Two Scots journalists held in a detention centre “like an open sewer” have begged the international community to rescue 101 refugees, including children, still there.
The group, from eight different countries but all of the same religion, had paperwork allowing them to pass, but border police chained the gates closed, beat many of the men and detained everyone including 22 children. She said: “It was like your worst nightmare coming true. People who were pleading were beaten with batons, men and women. It was utterly terrifying.”
Human rights groups had negotiated a move across the Turkish border into Bulgaria for the asylum seekers, who were expected to apply to move to other safe countries.
