Hungary’s government has been accused of cutting off food to migrants living in transit camps in a bid to get them to drop their claims for asylum. On Wednesday, Human Rights Watch became the latest organization to accuse Hungary’s anti-immigrant government of using starvation as a weapon, writing, “It’s completely outrageous and absurd that people have to turn to the courts to get a slice of bread. … This disregard for people’s well-being smacks of a cynical move to force people to give up their asylum claims and leave Hungary.”
