Greece: The criminal charges against Panayote Dimitras and Tommy Olsen are a gross misuse of anti-smuggling legislation and are not backed by evidence amn.st/6015BGv819

Receiving disturbing news of comments by the Greek Migration Minister indicating an audit of several NGOs in direct retaliation for their work defending the rights of refugees. The Ministry should support #HRDs, not target them with arbitrary interference & restrictions @GreeceInGeneva

"Querían presentarme como promiscua, lesbiana, usando la moralidad para hacerme parecer sospechosa”. Frontex y Europol se han implicado en prácticas opacas que criminalizan a migrantes y activistas de la UE que los ayudan o han estado en contacto con ellos social.elpais.com/l8nul6

#Greece: Can the state protect us from #SLAPPs? | Some are "state prosecutions, as in the case of Greek Helsinki Monitor & @ABoatReport NGOs, where the accusations of "smuggling" of migrants seem like direct retaliation for documenting #PushBacks practice"

For too long, the EU's anti-smuggling laws have enabled the unjust prosecution of refugees & human rights defenders.
@EU_Commission proposals to reform Facilitators Package must align with intl' law & stop criminalizing solidarity.

Tommy Olsen, founder of the Aegean Boat Report, is being targeted for documenting illegal pushbacks of refugees.
As @LaurenMarkham_ writes, it's part of a strategy to criminalize not only migrants but also aid workers as “a new layer of border defense."

The Greek Coast Guard is infamous for illegal “pushbacks” keeping migrants from shore. A Norwegian man who exposes them on his blog could face years in prison.

Press Release | The Ombudsman's Report on the Pylos Shipwreck
The Ombudsman’s inquiry into the Pylos shipwreck reveals a series of serious and reprehensible omissions in the search and rescue duties on the part of senior officers of the Hellenic Coast Guard. The report finds that the actions and omissions of the implicated officers during the handling of the incident on 13 and 14 June 2023 constitute the offences of deadly exposure to danger, as well as exposure to endangering the life, health and physical integrity of those on board the Adriana fishing vessel, punishable under article 306 of the Criminal Code. synigoros.gr/en/category/def…
