The UN organizations IOM and UNHCR call on the EU to end illegal pushbacks, violence against refugees and collective deportations at the EU's external borders. The organizations report massive human rights abuses at EU borders, including physical violence, abuse and worse.
The policy of #Seehofer, #Kurz and Co. has failed and was designed from the beginning to impose a policy of closure at the expense of human rights.
This policy is already unacceptable due to the deliberate violation of human rights and additionally ignores the great willingness to receive refugees in many European communities and regions.
We need a humanitarian policy that puts the well-being of the people at the center and guarantees freedom of movement. We will continue to stand up for this tirelessly in 2021! We all are the #SEEBRÜCKE!

Based on the analysis of many witness statements, the accounts of those affected, &human rights monitoring on the ground, @teammareliberum was able to reconstruct 321 cases in 2020 in which a total of 9,798 people were pushed back to Turkey with physical &psychological violence.
Some of them had already reached the Greek islands and were on European soil before they were denied their right to apply for asylum and forced back.
