Why are over 2,500 migrants, including refugees in prison in Greece right now? Over the past year I’ve gone to some of the trials in Crete of young Sudanese men unjustly accused of smuggling and I’ve seen how EU border policies are destroying people’s lives.

Reports of at least 6 people killed in one night of Greek coastguard violent pushbacks in Lesvos and Samos. Fuck the EU and its border policies that murder people seeking asylum.

Since we made this short, thousands of people every year continue to be killed at the sea borders. Since the criminalisation of humanitarian missions, no independent rescue ships are allowed to operate. It’s EU policy to sink refugee boats and allow the Greek Coastguard to drown people directly.

For those outside of Ireland, Travellers are the indigenous people of Ireland - a distinct ethnic minority with their own culture, language and traditions. In the 1960’s the Irish government brought in a series of laws that tried to destroy their way of life.

28th Feb is the anniversary of the Tempi train crash north of Athens which killed 57 people. A new report reveals a 'hitherto unknown fuel' on one train, destruction of the crime scene and 'in some cases, the requested evidence was not made available at all.' www.kathimerini.gr/wp-content/u...
