EU should make a commitment on behalf of EU states to facilitate the evacuation of detainees to safe places, including outside of #Libya say @hrw @amnesty @ecre hrw.org/news/2019/07/1…

For years people have been illegally sent back from #Italy to #Greece in secret prisons on private ships.

After months of investigating, we’ve found where asylum seekers, including children, are being detained.

THREAD 🧵
While European passengers are enjoying their holiday trips on board #Superfast ferries, below deck - in metal boxes & dark rooms - asylum seekers from #Afghanistan #Syria & #Iraq are detained.
This metal box is next to where trucks are parked - an area that is considered to be unsafe for passengers during the journey.

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.
For the last years, #Turkey is the 1st address where Afghan refugees either stay permanently or wait at a transit point to cross to #Europe. Besides exploitation by employers & lack of access to public services, they are now facing the threat of detention or deportation to #Iran.
You’ll find them in #Zeytinburnu where restaurants employ a steady stream of runaways, including minors. I met young couples who already paid over the odds for passage over #Iran's treacherous mountains, sometimes waist-deep in snow & are now saving for another perilous journey.

[Thread] Here is a collection of most racist coverage of #Russia's attack on #Ukraine. We are being told who deserves war, missiles, & who looks like a good refugee.
This only serves to mislead viewers & decontextualise conflicts. Hypocrisy & its randomness..

Spero abbiate il tempo di leggere la nostra inchiesta su nave #Caprera, mandata dall'Italia in Libia per combattere il traffico di esseri umani. Alcuni dei suoi marinai hanno organizzato un carico di contrabbando + violato l'embargo UN sulle armi
nytimes.com/2020/09/28/wor… Image
L'ex ministro degli interni italiano Matteo Salvini a Tripoli aveva elogiato l'equipaggio della nave Caprera per aver impedito a + 7.000 persone di raggiungere l'Europa.

L'unico problema: la Caprera stessa stava organizzando un carico di contrabbando verso l´Europa. Image
Una prova fondamentale per gli investigatori sono le foto di una festa di addio. Le foto, condivise sul gruppo WhatsApp di nave Caprera, mostrano un sorridente Corbisiero seduto davanti a una grande torta al cioccolato.

Dietro di lui i sacchi di sigarette di contrabbando. ImageImage

I hope you’ll take the time to read our full investigation on how #Italy sent a warship to #Libya to fight trafficking &
🇮🇹 sailors gathered a cargo of contraband + broke a UN arms embargo.

On the @nytimes with @PatrickKingsley
nytimes.com/2020/09/28/wor… Image
#Italy's former interior minister Matteo Salvini praised the ship Caprera after it stopped ++ than 7,000 people from reaching Europe.

There was just one problem: the #Caprera was itself smuggling contraband to #Europe. Image
A key piece of evidence for investigators are photos from a farewell party... Photographs shared on the ship’s WhatsApp group showed a grinning Mr. Corbisiero sitting before a large chocolate cake... Behind him were several sacks of contraband cigarettes. ImageImage
