🆘️ ~7 people in need of assistance on the island of #Kos , #Greece !

The group reports several medical emergencies as well as one person with severe hypothermia.
ΛΙΜΕΝΙΚΟ ΣΩΜΑ and local authorities are informed but claim the location is too difficult to reach.

A huge honour to contribute to the @collegeofeur KU Leuven conference on the #protection of #humanrights at #European level speaking abt #rule39 measures and #timelimits before European Courts in #asylum cases on behalf of The AIRE Centre

🆘 170 lives at risk off #Libya !

Home Office surprised to learn they can't just stuff 550 people over three decks of a ship with only two main exits.

#Pylos shipwreck: hi-tech investigation suggests Hellenic coastguard responsible for sinking

theguardian.com/global-develop…

We are very proud at The AIRE Centre to co sign this letter and support this initiative. Questions must be asked & investigations into the incidents should not stop until #deathsatsea stop to occur. The legal obligation to rescue is absolute and it’s time States start respecting it.

Seriously 🇬🇷?

Amid ongoing deflections and denial on #Pylos 'Greek Coast Guard had removed their engine and left them helplessly drifting in the sea'.

An absolute honour speaking about our work The AIRE Centre to the #Refugee and #Migration Studies summer school organised by the University of Athens and Harvard University. Brilliant group of people, looking forward to round 2 today!

Another 300 people missing on the #Atlantic

Urgent! This boat with approx. 250 people on board is at risk of capsizing in #Malta SAR. They need to be rescued without further delay. Don't wait again until it is too late! Don't let them drown!

❗️ Exactly one year ago ECHR CEDH condemned 🇬🇷 for breaching the right to life & failing to investigate the #Farmakonisi shipwreck (Safi v. Greece).

❗️This was the 🇬🇷 response to Council of Europe only a few days before #Pylos shipwreck

In its new report, FRA joins the call of the LIBE committee, Greek commission for HR and many others, to establish an independent investigation to the shipwreck #Pylos . Preventing and responding to deaths at sea: what the European Union can do. fra.europa.eu/en/publication…

Rescued! A boat in distress with 100 people on board called Alarm Phone during the night. We alerted authorities and #OpenArms and are very relieved that the people are now safe, after several days at sea! #civilfleet

In LIBE we hear the UN on their shocking conclusion that EU funding of Libya contributes to crimes against humanity. It has been deafening silence since this explosive report. The EU must give account on its impact of external funding of border control. euronews.com/my-europe/2023…

#Thread new issue of the Greek Asylum Case Law Report

1/7 The Greek Asylum Case Law Report is a joint initiative of the GreekCouncilRefugees, HIASGreece and Refugee Support Aegean (RSA), selected from our casework.

🆘 22 people, including 7 women, 6 children and elderly people, are stranded on an islet near #Didymoticho , #Evros #Greece .

The people told us they have no water left and are desperate. We informed Ελληνική Αστυνομία and urge them to respect their right to apply for asylum!

Victims of the #Pylos shipwreck deserve accountability & justice. Not a fake investigation by the same authorities that covered up their role in the disaster. I urge the EU Commission & Greece to heed LIBE Committee Press Committee's call for an independent international investigation.

Arrest of a lawyer who went to the Thessaloniki Port Authority to get authorizations from foreign nationals being in administrative detention, so that he could legally represent them.

‼️ Direct attack on the practice of law

🆘 ! ~40 people at risk of drowning!
Alarm Phone was alerted by a group in severe distress, left this morning from #Sfax . They report to be in the water, as the boat is sinking, and they can’t pass a GPS position. They called Tunisian authorities in vain, but a rescue is needed!
