Seebrüecke International demands end to violence at Europe’s borders
Seebrüecke International has called for an end to violence at Europe’s borders.
The German NGO demanded free movement for people.
Seebrüecke International said: “A video on @DoroBlancke’s Twitter account shows a Greek coastguard ship ramming a boat full of people on the move. The people were then taken to life rafts in Turkish waters. This is an illegal pushback! Human lives are being deliberately put at risk.
“This is not an isolated case. There are many reports in which the Greek coastguard mistreats people seeking protection or condones their deaths. Sometimes shots are also fired. The escalating violence is terrifying.
“We demand an end to the violence at Europe’s borders. Human rights are non-negotiable! We finally need safe passage and freedom of movement for all people!”
