"Lipa TRC is a facility intended to provide temporary shelter and basic services for people seeking asylum in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). On November 23rd, Mukter Hossain, a 41-year-old man from Bangladesh, died inside Lipa TRC after authorities refused to provide help during a clear medical emergency. His death cannot be understood merely as systemic neglect, but a direct refusal to provide life-saving assistance. ...

He told residents that he had been beaten, including a heavy blow to the right side of his ribs with the back of a gun. Upon arrival at the camp, he was in severe pain and vomiting. The camp’s medical unit examined him superficially, only providing painkillers and antiemetic medication; there was no follow-up, diagnostics, or monitoring.

Over the following two days, his condition deteriorated rapidly. By November 21st, he could no longer eat or leave his bed. Residents repeatedly asked guards and camp staff to provide medical attention or call an ambulance. These requests were dismissed with excuses such as “There is no medical staff now” and “We will send someone tomorrow.” No care was provided."
