Very interesting meeting today organized by @RivoltiB in #Zugliano, discussing #Eu externalization of migration policies. #Pushbacks, role of #Frontex and role of states along the #Balkan route. @AdrianaTdn @IcsOnlus @CoordEuropa @BalkansCaucasus @pfmajorino

@annalisacamilli explains the double standard recently applied by the #Eu vis-a-vis European and non-European refugees and how more humane #migration and #refugee policies are possible.

@roargh Milena explains the pattern and practice of #pushback with #Croatia being number 1 in #Europe in terms of violations

Racial profiling and gun violence are also prominent in #pushbacks in #Croatia. And there are reasons to believe that violence is planned and directed from above @roargh

Leaked conversations from #police confirm this. And courts heard and confirmed these cases. But what next now? #croatian #pushback @asgi_it

An independent border mechanism failed to tackle the problem. Is the solution throwing more money at it?! #Croatia @roargh

Serious and urgent assessment is needed of certain parts of the new Pact on #asylum and migration like the pre-screening procedure.

Here is what can be done! @roargh

This happens during #pushbacks at #EU borders @Border_Violence

#Greece - Turkey border pushbacks …. 37 cases against Greece at #ECtHR and pushbacks concerned even #Frontex interpreters! And violent #pushbacks happen also from #Albania and #Macedonia into #EU I.e. #Greece

Even @asgi_it was apprehended at border by #Frontex in Greece and sent to #Macedonia

Seeking accountability of #EU institutions should be at the core of our efforts by @Border_Violence !

The need to overcome #Dublin and make safe and legal routes the rule rather than the exception, this would ensure a better protection of #HumanRights but there was no courage to do it. @pfmajorino

We need to show the courage of radical change @pfmajorino

Emilio de Capitani ….. #HumanRights rights are mentioned in the official documents but not applied in practice @RivoltiB

@Tineke_Strik a lot of expectations about stopping pushbacks, but those were disappointed in practice, no strong monitoring mechanisms. We hope the #EUParliament will be more open
