The OLAF report clearly documents human rights violations by #frontex and is hidden from the public eye - putting the rule of law at risk! Read the article by our team member Laura Salzano (@laurasal9)

⚫️Horror in the #Aegean, once again! In the pathetic Greek-Turkish 'blame game', Greek Minister of #Pushbacks Νότης Μηταράκης - Notis Mitarachi rushed to deny "any involvement in the alleged fatal incident", though failing to explain how this group ended up in life rafts. aljazeera.com/news/2022/9/14…

🆘 ~200 lives at risk! We were alerted by a boat in distress in #Malta SAR, carrying about 200 people, among them 7 children. They urgently need drinking water and food as they are already 3 days at sea. All relevant authorities are informed. Rescue them now! #DontLetThemDrown

Diesmal etwas ausführlicher, die Situation verlangt das. Ein Video vom neuen Camp auf #Lesbos Es wird mitten in einem Wald, fernab jeglicher Infrastruktur gebaut. Der Wald ist im Sommer wegen Brandgefahr für die Zivilgesellschaft gesperrt. Was bedeutet das: Thread

Heute Morgen barg die griechische Küstenwache 15 Frauen tot vor #Lesbos. 20 Menschen gelten nach einem Schiffbruch weiterhin als vermisst. 5 konnten gerettet werden. Gestern Abend kenterte ein Schiff mit 100 Personen vor der Ionischen Insel #Kythira im Sturm. /1

"Da Solidarität in #Griechenland schon lange kriminalisiert wird, suchte heute Morgen um 8:30h nur ein Schiff der Küstenwache nach den Vermissten. Keine anderen Boote, keine Rettungsboote, keine Fischerboote, keine Hubschrauber waren unterwegs," schreibt Michael Bakas. #Lesbos

Obwohl so wichtig, kommt die öffentliche Anteilnahme (wenn es sie denn gibt) bei den Überlebenden kaum an. Im Gegenteil: ihr Ringen um Sicherheit & Fassung geht in den Fluchtlagern weiter, die traumatische Erfahrung meist verdichten & mehr Fragen aufwerfen, als Antworten geben.

Finally, the OLAF report is published - it shows: Frontex has broken the law and violated human rights. Let's start with enacting Article 46 and suspend the Frontex mission. It is time to hold the agency accountable and bring them to trial. #FrontexOut spiegel.de/international/…

To Frontex leadership, human rights are an "intellectual dictatorship".

By the way, it is not new, that Frontex knew. It's just that the majority of EU states have no interest in admitting that the Hellenic Coast Guard––aided by an EU agency––systematically leaves asylum seekers adrift at sea thus risking their lives and breaking the law.

Tonight, the Parliament will hold a plenary debate about the findings of OLAF on Frontex’ cover up of fundamental rights violations by Greece, and its general culture of disregarding human rights. Thanks to the revelation of the report by journalists, we can now speak publicly.

This is why we all asked for its publication. Transparency allows for oversight, makes our democracy stronger and makes the fight against impunity easier.

I just returned from #Turkey. I have spent days with Afghan & Syrian communities in Istanbul & at the border with #Bulgaria. I spoke with lawyers & local activists & archived evidences of pushbacks filmed by refugees who managed to survive violence & repression. A few thoughts.
