The EU does not allow asylum seekers within its borders. At its harshest people drown in the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean and are shot in North Africa at the European border. People who need protection are tossed from one country to another without proper hearings or guarantees of safety. The EU countries deport people to countries where they are captured and tortured. Amnesty International has prepared a program for the Finnish EU Presidency in order to improve the asylum policy of the European Union.
