A total of 11 irregular migrants were held near Turkey's Greek border on August 30, 2020 after reportedly beaten by Greek security forces and forced to depart for Turkey, a Pakistani migrant told Anadolu Agency. The migrant group -- including Pakistani and Afghan nationals -- were held by the local gendarmerie forces in the Kapikule area of Edirne, a northwestern Turkish province bordering Greece and Bulgaria, while attempting to illegally cross into Europe, said a source on condition of anonymity due to restrictions on speaking to the media.
