Central Europeans Speak Out for Refugees

A group of intellectuals from across the region of Central and Eastern Europe have had enough of their leaders’ stance on refugees. On 18 September 18 2015 100 writers and historians, artists and journalists, theatre directors and human rights activists penned an open letter that was published by the Stefan Batory Foundation, a Polish think tank.

Central and Eastern Europe, they wrote, 'must not deny' help to the refugees. 'Regrettably, there are many in our region who disagree'.
