Since I have read many discussions here about which government started #pushbacks in 🇬🇷, a 🧵 with sources up to 2019.
Δεδομένου ότι έχω διαβάσει πολλές διαφωνίες σχετικά με το ποια κυβέρνηση ξεκίνησε τα pushbacks στην 🇬🇷, ένα νήμα με πηγές μεχρι το 2019.
A testimony that pushbacks happened in the late 1980s.
Μια μαρτυρία οτι επαναπροωθήσεις γίνονταν στα τέλη της δεκαετίας του 1980.

Time for some @Frontex FOIA fun. 2-3 months ago Frontex released 2 batches of documents on operations in Evros in its public register. This is how I found out that at least *12* Serious Incident Reports falling within the scope of 3 FOIAs I submitted since 2020 weren't diclosed.
Not the first time this happened - there was one other SIR I know of that fell within the scope of a FOIA but wasn't released - but 12? No indication in Frontex's replies that some SIRs weren't disclosed, unlike with other documents requested (the 'smugglers might benefit' part).
Some of the non-disclosed SIRs concerned fundamental rights violations, others didn't. However, whether the non-disclosure happened by failure to locate the SIRs or intentionally, it means that impossible to know what Frontex withholds without the applicant being informed.

🧵CW: violence
Another #pushback case in Greece, this time with a difference. Ezrat, an Afghan man with refugee status who lives in Thessaloniki was kidnapped, beaten and pushed back to Turkey at #Evros. 1/
In 08/2021 he & 3 friends went to a house at the village of Kimmeria nr Xanthi to pay ransom for his nephew, held by a smuggling network. 2 police officers arrived, beat Ezrat & his friends, handcuffed them & drove them to a detention site nr Xanthi in a car with 🇧🇬 plates. 2/
They were stripped and detained for two days. Then the police took them to the border near Soufli, beat them again, took a video of them (interesting – why?) and threw them in the river handcuffed. 3/
