1/on 13 Dec @OHCHR_Europe Working Group on #ArbitraryDetention gave its preliminary findings on #Greece after visiting facilities for refugees and migrants. It noted challenges ‘due to the widespread detention in the (...) migration system which must end’ bit.ly/2PutJC3
@OHCHR_Europe 2/2.257 asylum seekers are in pre-removal detention in #Greece. Among the 'serious problems' affecting them the Working Group points to the failure to assess the necessity of detention, its excessive length, shortcomings in information, language and legal assistance #Refugeesgr
@OHCHR_Europe 3/ Preliminary findings confirm @amnesty concerns on the rights of #Refugeesgr, especially with the new asylum law depriving them of core safeguards in detention, removing judicial review of initial detention and extending the maximum periods of detention bit.ly/2EoB6oo
@OHCHR_Europe @amnesty 4/Working Group also talks of the 257 unaccompanied #children currently in ‘unacceptable conditions’ in protective custody in detention centres or police stations, where some were found held together with adults @AmnestyGreece visited some of them recently bit.ly/34xCJL0
@OHCHR_Europe @amnesty @AmnestyGreece 5/ @amnesty is pleased that the Group urged #Greece to ‘put an immediate end to pushbacks’ at Evros and investigate any wrongdoing, adding to the many observes denouncing this practice. The Evros route becomes more dangerous by the minute for #refugeesgr vice.com/gr/article/a35…

1/For 460 days Latvia's borders with Belarus have been under a “state of emergency” which allows border guards to push back refugees & migrants and suspends the right to seek asylum. Latvia denies these human rights violations. @amnesty report, out today, tells a different story. Image
@amnesty 2/We interviewed people, some with small children, stranded at #Latvia's border in 2021-2022.
They painfully described Latvian forces using tasers on their body, beating and humiliating them and nights spent sleeping on the snow, scared of bears & wolves. Take their word for it: Image
3/Beatings, forced nudity, torture and humiliation have nothing to do with border control. Image

THREAD – Yesterday @EU_Commission launched its #Pact on Migration and Asylum, which includes a political communication and legislative proposals.

Some thoughts on the #EUMigration pact proposed 'gateway' into the EU and its asylum system: Screening procedures
1/A foreword: The pact insists on a dangerous fiction: people crossing borders irregularly and going through screening and border procedures are not ‘on EU territory’.

This must not be an attempt by the EU of avoiding responsibility for asylum-seekers and migrants at the border
2/Member states would still be exercising jurisdiction and control over these people and be responsible for violations against them

See CJEU on Hungary’s transit zones: amnesty.org/en/latest/news… - end of foreword

As #Moria shows the tragic consequences of containment policies, @COE_Execution evaluate the @ECHR_CEDH case of M.S.S., which found conditions in Greece to violate the ECHR
Now more than ever supervision of this judgement must continue

@amnesty submission bit.ly/35F1ngU Image
2/M.S.S paved the way to temporarily stop returns of asylum-seekers from European members states to Greece due to the malfunctioning of its asylum system and the inadequate living conditions facing individuals.
3/The @COE_Execution should now assess if measures taken by Greece addressed the structural issues found by the Court in the areas of:
- asylum procedures
- living conditions in camps and facilities
- treatment of unaccompanied minors
- use and conditions of migration detention

THREAD/1: In April and May @migrationgovgr introduced regulations on NGOs working on migration, asylum & integration. Today @amnesty analysis of the rules concludes that they violate the right to freedom of association, threatening civic space in Greece ➡️ bit.ly/2CYp0FD
2/The new Joint Ministerial Decision No 3063 on the registries of Greek and foreign NGOs and their members and Art 58 of law no. 4686/2020 require all NGOs working in migr/asylum to undergo a burdensome registration process in order to continue carrying out operations in Greece.
3/These provisions are both discriminatory, as they impose additional requirements without apparent justification and only on NGOs working with people on the move, and at odds with international principles on the registration of NGOs and freedom of association.

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.

THREAD: On 1 June 11,237 refugees and migrants in Greece were asked to leave their accommodation. More will follow in the future. In the uncertainty of #COVID__19, which compounds risks for #refugeesgr, they are expected to earn and find homes for themselves. Some thoughts:
1/In March 2020 Greek law was changed so that, upon obtaining recognition, refugees and subsidiary protection beneficiaries would need to leave their accommodation within 30 days. Earlier, they had 6 months’ notice. This affects those in housing schemes, camps & other facilities.
2/@nmitarakis says that the 1 June deadline applies to 4000 people in #ESTIA housing scheme for 'vulnerable' people, run w/UNHCR, 1200 people renting places autonomously and 6037 residents of camps, hotels and other facilities. Cash assistance for basic needs is also discontinued
