Pendant un an, avec @lemonde.fr @spiegel.de @thetimes.com @artefr.bsky.social, nous avons enquêté à Mayotte sur la manière dont la police arrête les #kwassas, ces petits bateaux qui tentent de rejoindre l’île Nous révélons l'utilisation de tactiques dont les conséquences peuvent être mortelles 🧵

Grenzbeamte verletzen und töten Asylsuchende an den EU-Grenzen immer öfter, statt sie rechtsstaatlich zu behandeln. Mehr Menschen sollten wissen, was die rechte Antimigrations-Propaganda und Rufe nach „Begrenzung“ praktisch bedeuten: Entrechtung, Entwürdigung und ja, auch Tod.

REVEALED: French police have caused dozens of drownings by violently intercepting small boats trying to reach overseas territory Mayotte. Similar tactics are being proposed for the Channel, to try to stop people from reaching the UK.

Now France is amending its legal framework to allow officers to carry out aggressive pushbacks in the channel. Here's what it's like to be on the receiving end of the police aggression:

Secondly, how will British authorities react to the evident hypocrisy? France has acknowledged in the Channel that ramming, swamping and blocking boats breaks maritime law. Yet these laws can be broken routinely and for years in Mayotte.

For years, the French government had maintained that intercepting boats at sea was illegal and dangerous. But in the Indian Ocean, they've been doing just that, costing dozens of lives. If these tactics were used in the Channel, it would risk hundreds of lives. www.thetimes.com/article/46f9...

French police ‘illegally ram migrant boats in overseas territory’

France has said it can’t intervene in the Channel but police routinely use deadly tactics to stop boats reaching the Indian Ocean island of Mayotte, an investigation found

"Alors que, dans la Manche, le gouvernement français a annoncé, cet été, un changement de doctrine d'intervention pour autoriser l'arraisonnement en mer des bateaux de migrants en route vers le Royaume-Uni – jusque-là prohibée au bénéfice du secours en mer –,

NEW: French police have caused the deaths of dozens of people by intercepting small boats at sea These violent tactics are deployed now off the French overseas island of Mayotte Under pressure from the UK, France now plans to start intercepting boats in the Channel This is where that could lead ⬇️

Influencé par des élu·es d'extrême droite, le Parlement européen annule une conférence à laquelle devait participer l’universitaire Maboula Soumahoro, chroniqueuse à Politis. Nous condamnons ces pratiques insupportables : nos institutions ne doivent pas céder aux pressions racistes.
