#Greece: @amnesty URGENT ACTION
Grant #Asylum Seekers and migrant #children access to public healthcare, to which they are banned since July
The life and health of thousands are at risk
Ask @VroutsisGiannis, @Vkikilias & @nmitarakis to act now @AmnestyUA

@amnesty @VroutsisGiannis @Vkikilias @nmitarakis @AmnestyUA @GiorgosKosmop @LiaGogou @lmrebassa @maxmoratti69 There is no procedure to grant the social security number AMKA, which would allow access to healthcare to asylum seekers and children of irregular migrants, since July 2019. this is contrary to Greek, #EU and #International law.
@amnesty @VroutsisGiannis @Vkikilias @nmitarakis @AmnestyUA @GiorgosKosmop @LiaGogou @lmrebassa @maxmoratti69 The new Asylum Law of November 2019 proposed an alternative through the ‘Temporary number for insurance and healthcare for third-country nationals’ (PAAYPA). However, this instrument has not been operationalised. People are left in a procedural vacuum.
@amnesty @VroutsisGiannis @Vkikilias @nmitarakis @AmnestyUA @GiorgosKosmop @LiaGogou @lmrebassa @maxmoratti69 Some people with serious or chronic conditions are only able to receive cures thanks to exceptional measures. efsyn.gr/ellada/ygeia/2…
@amnesty @VroutsisGiannis @Vkikilias @nmitarakis @AmnestyUA @GiorgosKosmop @LiaGogou @lmrebassa @maxmoratti69 @MSFgreece and other NGOs are experience ‘large increase in the number of patients seeking care without AMKA: from 18% of patients in January to 43% in November’. @positivevoicegr Infections Units are 'unable to provide antiretroviral treatment' to foreigners without #AMKA
@amnesty @VroutsisGiannis @Vkikilias @nmitarakis @AmnestyUA @GiorgosKosmop @LiaGogou @lmrebassa @maxmoratti69 #Greece must take immediate action to ensure that asylum-seekers, unaccompanied children and children born in Greece from parents with an irregular migration status can access free healthcare in the public system, as mandated by Greek Law 4368/2016.

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
