Amnesty International on Wednesday accused Greece of contravening their human rights obligations under EU and international law by illegally detaining refugees and migrants and returning them to Turkey.
The human rights group’s new report, “Greece: Violence, lies and pushbacks,” focuses on the Evros region, along the border between Greece and Turkey.
Last year, Greece pushed back migrants after Turkey unilaterally opened its borders. Amnesty said these human rights violations at Greece’s borders have continued and become an entrenched practice.
“It is clear that multiple arms of the Greek authorities are closely coordinating to brutally apprehend and detain people who are seeking safety in Greece, subjecting many to violence, then transferring them to the banks of the Evros river before summarily returning them to Turkey,” said Adriana Tidona, migration researcher for Europe at Amnesty International.
“Our research shows that violent pushbacks have become the de facto Greek border control policy in the Evros region,” she said.
“The level of organization needed to execute these returns, which affected around 1,000 people in the incidents we documented, some numerous times and sometimes via unofficial detention sites, shows just how far Greece is going to illegally return people and cover it up.”

Well they belong to Turkey
They should return them by firing them out of cannon.
The turks are there illegally. They are being returned to their home. Turks have a history of invading Greece.
Screw the EU!
Turkey releases refugees based on how other countries cooperate with them. In normal times it could be considered an act of war.
Imagine that. The Greeks want to keep Greece, Greek.
This is Not Thermopylae.
There are no second chances.
Even then, The chance Greece remains a nation state within 30 years is doubtful.
I always wondered why covert groups don’t load up masses of illegal aliens and take them to the houses of open border people at three in the morning. Snap off the lock on their gate and tell the illegals “Wait in here.”
“They should return them by firing them out of cannon.”

AI may have had a good purpose early on but now it’s just become another assault on Western Civilization.

I see the problem. Greece is an unwelcoming and unsafe place for "migrants" (aka criminal invaders). So this begs the question, why are those "migrants" seeking safety in a place that isn't safe for them?
How dare Greece try to defend its border! They’re as bad as Trump!

They should be grateful they are being turned away alive.
Aren’t they already citizens of Turkey?
Sounds like a plan.
