On April 13th I got an email from a stranger, @FayadMulla
He was on Lesbos & had footage from 2 days prior showing migrants getting rounded up on land & ditched in the Aegean by the coast guard
Did I want to see it?
If you think the answer was an easy "yes," you're wrong. @FayadMulla I am a Greek of Eastern Aegean heritage who has spent a decade writing about migration from the E.U. & Africa.
I know how many people have tried to get compelling evidence of these widely known practice. The bar is very high, and invariably you get abused for trying.
