“Most likely today they will not allow anyone to leave the camp”

The main respondent is a 24-year-old man from Syria. On the 16th of December while getting ready for distribution the respondent contacted us to let us know that the camp was closed. The respondent reports that « Most likely today they will not allow anyone to leave the camp ».
The respondent states that after going to the gate to ask to go out he got told that this day no one was allowed to leave the camp. He states that they do not know the reasons but that they « are forced to stay inside ». The respondent claims that there was a celebration in town that day, the Christmas market, and for that reason they closed the camp. The camp opened from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. after the end of the Christmas market.

Harmanli camp, hosting 1700 people is the main location of NNK’s distributions in Bulgaria. Harmanli camp is an open centre. People are supposed to be free to walk out of it before 5 p.m.
