Durch Intransparenz den öff. Diskurs verwässern: wie die @NZZaS schreibt, behauptet das BAZG, das CH-Grenzschützer:innen NIE irgendwelche Menschenrechtsverstösse bei ihren Einsätzen in der Evros-Region beobachtet hätten. Das erstaunt.

Beweise für diese Aussagen bleibt das Bundesamt schuldig. Das ist untragbar! Die #Schweiz muss endlich öffentlich darlegen, wie sich ihre Verwaltungsratsmitglieder zu #Pushbacks verhalten haben.

Die Forderung dazu liegt längst auf dem Tisch: frontex-leaks.ch

2/5
Die Reportage der @NZZaS zeichnet ein Bild systematischer Gewalt. Von wem die ausgeht, ist schwer zu sagen: „Es gibt Flüchtlinge, die aussagen, sie hätten gehört, wie einige Deutsch sprechen, Italienisch, Französisch, was auf Frontex-Mitarbeiter schliessen würde.“

🔴BREAKING! Six shipwrecks and almost 200 deaths off #Libya in September!

Hundreds of people have died in the Central Med over just a few days & again European authorities keep silent. Those who survived are alive only thanks to the efforts of fishermen.

alarmphone.org/en/2020/09/27/…
As in August, most shipwrecks that happened in September were not recognised by any authority. With the exception of a few, we only heard of these tragic deaths at sea because traumatised survivors or brave fishermen reached out to #AlarmPhone to make their voices heard.
🔺1st shipwreck: 22 people died and 45 survivors detained.

IOM reported that on 14/09 a boat was rescued by the so-called Libyan Coast Guard. They arrived too late for 22 people who died after the boat capsized. The 45 survivors were imprisoned in the detention centre of Zawya.

🆘~100 persone in grave pericolo al largo della #Libia! Hanno appena contattato #AlarmPhone: il gommone si sta sgonfiando e un tubo sta scoppiando.
Allertate le autorità, speriamo il soccorso arrivi subito.
Non lasciate che avvenga un altro naufragio e soccorrete immediatamente! Image
🔴 La cd guardia costiera libica è stata informata della barca in pericolo con ~100 persone a sole 30nm dalla costa libica, ma dicono di NON POTER soccorrere! È la 2a volta in pochi giorni che non intervengono. Sabato decine di persone sono morte!
#DontLetThemDrown
La cd. Guardia costiera libica ci ha detto che non possono intercettare persone in pericolo. Le autorità italiane ci dicono che non è loro area di competenza. Questo non è vero! #Italia, #Malta e #UE: SIETE TUTTI RESPONSABILI DELLA MORTE DELLE PERSONE! #Borderskill

🆘 ~100 people urgently asking for help off #Libya! They just reached out to #AlarmPhone saying their rubber boat is deflating & one tube is bursting.

We alerted all authorities & hope rescue will arrive quickly.

Don’t let another shipwreck happen & rescue now! Image
🔴The so-called Libyan Coastguard is informed about the sinking boat with ~100 people in distress just 30nm off the Libyan coast, but again they say they CANNOT rescue! It is the 2nd time in a few days they don’t intervene. On Saturday dozens of people died! #DontLetThemDrown
The so-called libyan coastguard told us that their vessel is broken and cannot intercept people in distress. Italian authorities tell us they are not responsitble for the area. This is not true! #Italy, #Malta and #EU: YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DROWNING OF PEOPLE! #Borderskill

🚩WESTERN MED: 4 shipwrecks in 2 weeks! Where is the public outrage?

Besides the boat with ~63 people we reported missing for two weeks now, there have been reports of three other shipwrecks along the #CanaryIslands route, just in the past three days.
elpais.com/espana/2020-08…
One of the three capsized boats reportedly left from #Mauritania and another two left from Western #Sahara. Our condolences to all the victims of European borders and their loved ones.
The militarisation of European borders has produced longer and ever-more dangerous routes, including those across the #Atlantic Ocean. Death at sea will cease when freedom of movement ceases to be a privilege and becomes a right. #BordersKill

32 people still denied rescue despite distress situation and reported dangers to their health. Small children and a pregnant woman are in critical health condition, according to the people in the boat. Greek and Turkish Coast Guards leave them alone in the sea.
We call on the international community to step in now. Sea rescue is a duty and denial of rescue is a crime. @Dunja_Mijatovic @Frontex @UNHCRGreece @EU_Commission @EUCouncil @Refugees @HCoastGuard
The people are saying: "Our boat has a hole and water is entering. There are the Turkish and there the Greeks and they just watch." They need to be rescued immediately!

Many #CommemorActions took place in several places in #Africa (Marocco, Mali, Niger, Togo and Cameroon). A new movement is growing to fight against the borders that killed loved ones.

Find a summary on the Alarm Phone #Sahara webpage:

Be it in the desert or at sea, each death at the border is never an accident or a tragedy: it is murder by the border regime.

#CommemorAction at the land border between #Algeria and #Marocco.

Those responsible for these murders are European states, their migration politics and the extension of their borders to African countries. Memorial at Sea on the sea of Saidia, #Marocco.

Where are they? A relative told us that yesterday at 5am a boat left towards the Canary Islands with 23ppl, 7 women & 3 children. They have been missing since! Authorities in #Morocco & #Spain say they are searching. It's stormy in the region & we hope they will be found soon.
Unfortunately, we still have no news about the 23 ppl en route to the #CanaryIslands. They left from #Boujador in #Morocco approximately 36 hours ago. We fear the worst. After the shipwreck on Tuesday, is this the second disaster at sea this week? #Europe, your #BordersKill
There is still no sign of life of the 23 people who went missing when trying to reach the Canary Islands. They left from #Morocco about 59 hours ago. Spanish and Moroccan authorities confirm ongoing search operations and the movements of a Spanish aircraft show search patterns. Image

Alarm Phone, in solidarity with #SAR NGOs and #migrants at sea, condemns Italy's new Security Decree. This law is part and parcel of an authoritarian turn in Italy, seeking to criminalise any #resistance to racist state practices & deadly border regimes. #DecretoSicurezzabis
The new #Italian law, frames #SeaRescue as ‘abetting illegal migration’, a complete myth & lie. Closed ports, push-backs & failures to provide assistance at #sea violate international laws, maritime #SAR conventions & migrants’ rights. #Libya is a war-zone, not a #SafeHarbour!
Criminalising those who rescue lives, this law is yet another #European effort to actively let migrants die at sea. Letting them drown is a strategy intended to deter other #migrants from crossing. This does not work - it just amplifies suffering. #BordersKill
