Anche mons. José Guadalupe Torres Campos, vescovo di Ciudad Juárez e responsabile per la Mobilità umana della Conferenza episcopale messicana, è intervenuto dopo il ritrovamento di 19 cadaveri carbonizzati a Camargo, nello Stato messicano del Tamaulipas, confinante con il Texas.

The European Parliament is setting up its own review group to investigate, among other things, Frontex's involvement in illegal pushbacks by the Greek coast guard. That is according to the group's mandate, which is available to SPIEGEL. The working group, called the "Frontex Scrutiny Group," is to meet regularly from now on and report to the European Parliament's Interior Committee. Within four months, it will first investigate whether Frontex was involved in fundamental rights violations, knew about them and how the agency reacted to this knowledge. The management of the agency as a whole is also to be put to the test. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) read more

Italien sonnt sich gerne mal in Berichten über aufopferungsvolle italienische Fischer, die Geflüchtete aus dem Wasser ziehen. Blöd nur, dass der UN-Menschenrechtsausschuss nun eine Rüge gegen den italienischen Staat ausgesprochen hat. Es geht um die 268 Bootsflüchtlinge, die im Oktober 2013 vor Lampedusa ertranken. Demnach hat die Marine, also der italienische Staat, zu lange gewartet mit Rettungsmaßnahmen (oder sich taub gestellt): Eine Verletzung des Rechts auf Leben, schreibt der UN-Ausschuss. read more

It cites instances of security guards using tear gas to disperse refugee protests, and shabby and unhealthy conditions at the sprawling camps. read more

The Greek government should release test results and other vital information about lead contamination in a migrant camp on Lesbos island to protect the health of residents and workers, Human Rights Watch said today. After testing soil samples in November, the government confirmed publicly on January 23, 2021 the presence of dangerous levels of lead in the soil in the administrative area of the Lesbos camp. It says that samples from residential areas showed lead levels below relevant standards but did not release the locations where samples were collected or the actual test results. The government has yet to indicate that it will take the necessary steps to adequately assess and mitigate the risk, including comprehensive testing and measures to remove people from areas that could be contaminated. read more
