In case you missed it, Elena and Anas from #BVMN spoke with #JoeyAyoub on the @FireTheseTimes podcast about the increasing criminalisation of solidarity with #peopleonthemove.

1/thefirethesetimes.com/2023/10/06/how…
Last March, Elena, along with @hopeameliee and others, co-developed “In Defence of Defenders: a Practical Guide for Legal Means and Advocacy Tools for Criminalised #HRDs in Europe” for @BoellStiftung @boell_gr

2/
On the podcast, she explained: “While the European Union has a lot of programs to support Human Rights activists outside the EU, they don’t have any support program [for activists] criminalised within the EU, which we are seeing more and more within the migration context.”
3/
The underlying message: “there are human rights within the EU, so we don’t need to protect anybody, while at the same time […] a couple of people in #BVMN are actually facing police investigations for holding up the rights of #peopleonthemove”
4/
The conversation also touched upon #BVMN’s advocacy work as part of the #ProtectNotSurveil campaign, calling for a ban within the EU’s #AIAct on the use of AI systems for border surveillance

5/
This is not the first time #BVMN’s work has been featured on @FireTheseTimes. Back in July 2020, @JackSapoch spoke on behalf of @NoNameKitchen1 and BVMN about the practice of pushbacks along the #BalkanRoute.

6/
Thanks to #JoeyAyoub and the @FireTheseTimes for hosting #BVMN, and for the always insightful conversations

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

1/ Pushbacks, violence in numbers and (lack of) accountability. Taking a closer look at the practices of illegal expulsion from Greece to Turkey at the Evros border.
[Thread]👇
2/ BVMN has reported on the pushback of over 6000 people since January 2020 via the Evros region to Turkey, with 89% of last years cases including violence tantamount to torture.

3/ A recent report by the Greek Ombudsperson found "no indication of wrongdoing on the part of the police officers on the ground and that the complaints about pushbacks are likely to come from traffickers aiming to compromise the operational capabilities of the police"

Important read from Lucy Papachristou @lucypapa96 on the experience of separated families at the HR-BiH border.
aljazeera.com/features/2021/…
Over the past months, refugee families trapped outside the EU in northwestern #Bosnia have begun trying a new “game”, the "stay game". An attempt by some husbands to join again their wives and children, as legal as possible.
“The fact that these men are denied the right to seek asylum and instead expelled from the country is a breach of international law in its own right”, says Lisa Koerber @eine_Lisa_ , head of the border violence monitoring programme at @NoNameKitchen1

At the end of February thousands of people stuck in #Turkey gathered at #Greece's land and sea border with the hope of safe passage...

...what they found was an extreme level of violence from police and military (teargas, water cannons and gunfire), an illegal suspension of asylum rights, daily pushbacks, and inhumane treatment such as stripping, beating and detention without food and water.

(2/5)
BVMN have co-authored a comprehensive report alongside several organisations @mobileinfoteam @teammareliberum @NoNameKitchen1 and @VanInfo, covering systematised rights abuses targeting people-on-the-move, both at maritime and terrestrial crossing points into Greece.
