in the first half of 2013 the numbers of asylum-applications in Hungary have been exploding. 10.000 aplications until end of June compared to last year (whole year 2012!) 2.155.

These rulings simply corrupt the most basic notion of justice – that it must be seen to be done. The immoral cannot be made moral through the use of secret law.
