The Norwegian photographer Knut Bry, critical of the Greek closed borders policy, was arrested on March 16, 2022, in the port of Mytilini, Lesvos, Greece, on charges of espionage. He has been released on bail on March 21 and the investigation goes on. Ironically, the man who denounced these practices was arrested on the same day that the German magazine Der Spiegel published evidence on its website that the head of Frontex, Fabrice Leggeri, had covered up "pushbacks" carried out by the Greek coast guard. read more

They say that only the documents are decisive for entry and not the origin or appearance. However, the Federal Police did not answer a question about how many people had been turned back so far. read more

Calls for help, cries of anguish: about twenty refugees, including seven children and two pregnant women (one of whom is said to be suffering from haemorrhage), find themselves alone in the cold, without food or water. Their ordeal has lasted since Saturday. Where, in Ukraine? No, on an island lost in the middle of the hostile and icy waters of the Evros River, which marks the border between Greece and Turkey. read more

The Presidency requests member states' views on levers to be mobilised to increase third country acceptance of deportations, including using "programming of NDICI [Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument] through a flexible incentive approach," legal migration and visa facilitation, trade, and political and diplomatic engagement. read more

The Federal Government has promised the federal states more support in organising and managing the care of war refugees from Ukraine. Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) said in the Bundestag on Wednesday that the registration of displaced persons was currently being improved. Faeser, however, rejected regular border controls and border closures, among other things because of the then unavoidable waiting time at the border. On Thursday, the heads of government of the federal states will meet with Chancellor Scholz for consultations to discuss, among other things, how to deal with the refugees. read more

In its judgement of 10 March 2022, the ECJ delivered another decision on the German law on detention pending deportation in case C-519/20. In short, the case dealt with how detainees awaiting deportation are to be accommodated. The ECJ has provided guidelines for the accommodation of persons seeking protection who are to be deported. The most important point is that detainees awaiting deportation may not be housed in prison-like facilities. The federal government was thus emphatically reminded that it may not simply declare an emergency and in the course of this imprison people who have done nothing wrong together with criminals. read more
