There are no plans for journalists to reach the refugees and migrants. The camp is guarded, and press representatives are apparently not allowed in, nor are members of parliament. "Employees of Frontex and other EU authorities are allowed in, but we as elected representatives of the people are not," criticized Miguel Urbán Crespo, who sits in the European Parliament for the governing party Unidas Podemos and wanted to visit the camp. "What is there to hide?" asked the politician, announcing his intention to draw the attention of the EU to this new "disgrace". read more

In the early hours of a Sunday in late November, 16-year-old Jeancy Kimbenga tried to reach Europe for a third time. He was on one of three dinghies that landed on the Greek island of Lesbos that day from Turkey. On that occasion, as with his two previous attempts, Jeancy claims he was forcibly returned to Turkish waters. So-called pushbacks, without consideration of a migrant's individual circumstances and without any possibility of applying for asylum, are illegal under international human rights law. Greece has denied it uses such methods, insisting it is complying with European and international law and protecting the borders of the European Union. read more

The Moria refugee camp has been a shop window for Europe’s asylum policies, featuring a policy of deterrence. Governments have spent billions from public funds to curb migration. But migration experts say that deterrence does not work on refugees. Instead, they call for alternatives that are both realistic and humane. read more

When multiple fires destroyed Europe’s notorious refugee camp, it became apparent that more than 3,000 asylum seekers were missing already. While authorities remain silent regarding their whereabouts, we met some of them. We witnessed them living in limbo, working under exploitation, and being victims of brutal attacks; crossing borders to reach the “European dream” or failing to do so. We also delved into the government’s practices of fabricating the numbers. read more

Genf. Mitte dieses Jahres waren mehr Menschen auf der ganzen Welt aus ihrer Heimat vertrieben als je zuvor. Es dürften mehr als 80 Millionen gewesen sein, schätzt das UN-Flüchtlingshilfswerk (UNHCR). Die 80-Millionen-Marke sei gebrochen worden, obwohl wegen der Corona-Pandemie im April 168 Länder weltweit ihre Grenzen ganz oder teilweise geschlossen hatten, auch für Asylsuchende, wie das UNHCR am Mittwoch in Genf berichtete. read more

The text has not been made public, according to French news agency AFP. However, according to information obtained by that agency, it is thought that ultimately the aim would be to allow French judges the possibility of ordering returns on the basis of placement decisions made by Moroccan judges. Last month, French authorities threatened to reduce the number of visas granted to citizens of countries, especially northwest African nations, reluctant to take back their undocumented nationals, particularly those placed on radicalization watch lists. read more

Angela und Sandra wollten in Griechenland einen Asylantrag stellen, wie es ihr Recht ist. Doch zu einer Anhörung kam es nicht. Stattdessen wurden sie illegalerweise auf dem Meer ausgesetzt. Zusammen mit sechzehn anderen Schutzsuchenden, darunter laut den Geflüchteten Minderjährige und mehrere schwangere Frauen, wurden die beiden auf zwei kleinen aufblasbaren Rettungsflößen zurückgelassen. Mitten in der Nacht, mitten auf dem Meer, ohne Chance, aus eigener Kraft die Küste zu erreichen. read more
