Two years ago today, the Moria refugee camp burned to the ground. What has been happening since at Europe’s borders?🧵

Europe has been actively sharpening its borders. New high-tech camps have sprung up on Greek Islands, financed by the EU and controlled via a vast #BorderTech surveillance system.

Border violence impacts those who work on these issues. Journalists like @g_christides @nstamouli @lydiaemman @Malichudis + many others have faced violence, threats, and smears for their reporting. NGOs and search and rescuers are criminalized all over Europe

I have been quiet on here lately, trying to make sense of years of work comparing technologically facilitated violence at borders. One experience sits viscerally with me every day. How many more people will die? 🧵
