A sense of impunity has fueled rampant torture by militias and armed groups affiliated to the Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA) and rivals with de facto control of territory because of real or perceived family, tribal, political or regional affiliations, Amnesty International said ahead of Libya’s review at the UN Human Rights Council on 11 November. read more

Warum wird zu den so offensichtlichen Rechtsverstößen durch die kroatische Polizei so hartnäckig geschwiegen? Da könne sie nur einen Verdacht äußern, so Yilmaz. Zum einen betreffe es vor allem Menschen muslimischen Glaubens und zum zweiten werde die Gewalt von den handelnden Personen in der EU-Kommission gutgeheißen. Kroatien habe den Auftrag, die „Außengrenze zu schützen“, aber ohne den Zusatz europäische Menschenrechte dabei einzuhalten, vermutet Nurten Yilmaz. read more

Forced to close detention centres on its border with Serbia, Hungary has created new bureaucratic barriers to asylum far outside its own territory and in the process cast aside internationally accepted principles for the protection of those fleeing war and persecution. read more

Mit Drohnen und Algorithmen werden Grenzen immer stärker technisch überwacht, monieren Bürgerrechtler. Laut der EU kooperiert Deutschland aber zu wenig. Die EU experimentiert bei der Überwachung der Schengen-Außengrenzen zunehmend mit "Hochrisiko-Technologien zum Migrationsmanagement". Dies beklagt die bei Mozilla tätige Forscherin Petra Molnar mit ihrem Team in einem am Montag veröffentlichten Bericht über "technologische Testbetten" im Grenzbereich für die Bürgerrechtsorganisation European Digital Rights (EDRi). read more

Kein Strom, keine Heizung, kein Licht - und jetzt kommt der Herbst mit voller Wucht. "Das Lager macht krank", sagt Greg Kavarnós von der Hilfsorganisation Ärzte ohne Grenzen. Er weiß, wovon er spricht. Die Wartezimmer von Ärzte ohne Grenzen auf Lesbos sind voll. Und Kavarnós stelt sich oft vor, wie es ihm erginge, wenn er im Lager leben müsste: "Ich bin gesund. Aber wenn Du mich in ein Lager stecken würdest - in ein Zelt ohne Heizung, ohne Zugang zu ordentlichem Essen, ohne eine Möglichkeit, mich richtig zu waschen, dann werde ich krank, egal wie gesund ich vorher war." read more

8521. This is the number of refugees that have been illegally pushed back while trying to cross the Aegean Sea since March 2020. Mare Liberum collected information on 266 pushbacks, but the actual number is most likely much higher. This is because gathering information is difficult in a highly militarized borderzone where no civilian witness is present and facts are politically instrumentalized. read more

Two French citizens aged 22 and 25 were arrested by police in Milan and charged with facilitating illegal immigration after being caught accompanying four Syrian migrants to cross into France on November 3.

For years, thousands of migrants and refugees arriving from the Balkan route have transited through Trieste, a city on Italy's north-eastern border, only 10 kilometres from Slovenia. But the pandemic and the need to quarantine new arrivals presented new challenges for local and national governments along the so-called Balkan route, where thousands of migrants and refugees remain stranded since EU countries shut their borders in 2015. The UN has warned of an impending humanitarian crisis in the Balkans as winter sets in and thousands remain homeless. read more

The Coronavirus pandemic continues to severely affect migrants and refugees. Difficulties to enter the EU, increasing reports of pushbacks and violence at the borders, and worsening conditions in reception centres are some of the main concerns the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) identifies in its latest migration quarterly bulletin. At the same time, the European Commission’s new Migration and Asylum Pact kicks off new discussions about the future EU migration and asylum framework. read more
