How the European Union puts borders before lives. Refugees are the ones in need of protection, not EU’s borders. A thread on what you need to know about EU migration, their externalized borders, and overall complacency in upholding border imperialism #MigrationKorbelDU #Migration Image
Rhetoric in the news and media portrays #immigrants as a security threat, using words like “illegal” and “alien”. Harsh rhetoric has continued since the 2015 influx of migrants. Attitudes towards migrants and the security threat label is used as a justification for funding.
European Border and Coast Guard Agency @Frontex is the EU agency responsible for border control of the Schengen area. Funding for Frontex has raised from €143 million in 2015 to €543 million in 2021. Frontex has failed to protect the rights of migrants.

We can break this down point by point and apply it to what is happening to people in pain who require opiates for adequate pain relief.

#HumanRightsAbuses
“MORAL JUSTIFICATION” The rallying cry, “NOT MY KID”.
Moral justification & high emotion drove legislation. The #GreatOpioidLie of how addiction by prescription was the cause of ODs became mainstream fodder.
Pts in pain? Acceptable collateral damage.
#OpoioidHysteria
“EUPHEMISTIC LABELING” #CATASTROPHIZER became the catchphrase of the day.
OVER PRESCRIBER
DRUG SEEKER
When pushback came against the catastrophizing label, those being labeled were actually asked to come up with a label that is more acceptable to them, but means the same thing.

Excellent piece by @DimitriosGian on the signalling by a Govt, emboldened by Brexit, that the next step is to “take back control” of human rights too. Insular, short-sighted & ideologically driven - we should take these threats seriously. prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/the-n… via @prospect_uk
This week, FCO minister @nadams told MPs concerned about violent & systemic #humanrightsabuses in India this govt would put #HumanRights at the core of its foreign policy.

How does it do that *and* simultaneously suggest it may pull out of the ECHR?
If you haven’t already seen & shared @AdamWagner1’s excellent thread on all things European Convention on Human Rights, please do.
