This afternoon LIBE/@EP_Justice discusses #greece-#turkey situation with Greek Ministers and @YlvaJohansson. We urge the meeting to address ongoing pushback allegations, including the case of #naderaalmonla.
@EP_Justice
meeting - disappointing to hear @YlvaJohansson
saying "pushbacks are illegal" but that commission has no power to investigate. We need words to be put into action, pushbacks investigated and justice for victims - #whereisNaderaAlmonla
Minister Chrisochoidis replies to specific questions on incidents at borders saying 'we did not use guns' and 'if there is any allegations send it to us we will look into it'
We -and others- have been doing it for a while and still expect a response, including from this meeting.
With reports of pushbacks and other dangerous practices persisting for months, Greek ministries' responses during LIBE meeting can only be qualified as unconducive and non-cooperative.
@YlvaJohansson's reference to the need of a new mechanism to monitor and verify pushbacks could be a positive step, but justice & accountability for well-documented incidents by @amnesty and others remains unserved.
