Chechen refuges block railway in Austria

On 8 February, refugees from Chechnya blocked a railway in the Austrian town of Gmuend for several hours as a sign of protest against possible deportation. According to the police, some 50 action participants burst through into Austria from neighboring Czechia. The action was stopped after talks with the police. Those who applied for asylum in Austria were allowed to temporarily stay in the country. Some of the refugees had already made similar applications in Czechia and Poland.
