[Thread] 1/ Recently a coalition of outlets, including @derspiegel and @srfnews , published several videos showing #pushbacks from Croatia to Bosnia-Herzegovina.

2/ The footage shows groups, including families and young children, being removed illegally across the border by Croatian officers, corroborating much of the written, oral and visual evidence gathered from this border location.

3/ Some of the earliest footage related to pushbacks was published by @guardian in 2018, with injured people caught on camera just after a violent removal from Croatia.

4/ That same month, BVMN received a landmark cache of footage showing the use of the green border near the Bosnian village of #Lohovo for systemic #pushbacks. Notably these videos identified the expanding role of the infamous "Koridor" operation.

5/ @srfnews were again involved in publishing more footage in 2019 which further evidenced the use of the green border to perform illegal returns.

6/ Local BiH outlets such as @zurnal_info have also produced important reporting on the issue, such as this video from August 2019 about the #pushback of Pakistani men near the village of #Poljana.

7/ In March 2020, a #pushback of people in the same area was recorded by a member of the transit group themselves.After more than six months of investigation an in-depth visual reconstruction was released by @JackSapoch & @NoNameKitchen1 on behalf of BVMN

8/ These intersecting pieces of evidence are proof that #pushbacks exist on a mass and violent scale, despite the denials of this at national and #EU levels.
