This is sickening to watch. Desperate people at risk of capsizing being shot at by Greek forces. What has happened to the world.
There’s another bit where you can see the Greek boat seemingly try to ram or capsize the dinghy full of people. Video c/o the Turkish government.
UNHCR on the EU-Turkey border crisis: "All States have a right to control their borders....but at the same time should refrain from the use of excessive or disproportionate force and maintain systems for handling asylum requests in an orderly manner.....
...Neither the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees nor EU refugee law provides any legal basis for the suspension of the reception of asylum applications" - UNHCR statement on EU-Turkey situation. unhcr.org/news/press/202…
