Athens has granted refugee status to over 68,000 people in the past three years, according to the migration ministry. But if obtaining asylum in an EU country is a dream come true for many migrants, in Greece it means having to confront a whole new set of challenges. Right now "it's probably easier to survive in Greece as an asylum seeker than as a refugee," says Spyros-Vlad Oikonomou, advocacy officer at the Greek Council for Refugees, one of the country's leading rights groups. read more

Fabrice Leggeri said after talks Wednesday with Cypriot Interior Minister Nicos Nouris that the small east Mediterranean island nation faces an "extraordinary challenge" that requires "extraordinary support" from Frontex amid increased migrant arrivals that the government says has stretched its ability to cope. read more

On 7 February, commercial flights resumed between Morocco and Spain, and Madrid hopes to take advantage of this to resume repatriation flights of Moroccan migrants. The decision could concern 23,000 people, who would be deported from the Canary Islands to Laayoune. If the resumption of expulsions is officially confirmed, its conditions could be similar to those already applied in the past, with a rhythm of four weekly flights, provided by the company Royal Air Maroc, with 20 migrants on board. Despite Madrid's declared willingness to resume expulsions, the process could still take longer than expected. For its part, Morocco is in no hurry. read more

PRO ASYL and Flüchtlingsrat Berlin publish a study on the situation of Rom*nja from the Republic of Moldova seeking protection. The chances of members of the Rom*nja minority from Moldova to find protection from deportation in Germany are zero - wrongly. In the conclusion of the study, the author writes: "The exclusion is so clear that many Rom*nja do not see themselves as equal citizens with equal rights. This is one of the reasons why their asylum procedures fail - because Roma are partly unaware of the extent of their discrimination and do not bring the relevant circumstances to the attention of the authorities. read more

Many of the refugees detained in Australia are of a specific category – people who arrived by boat after July 2013, when Canberra made a series of deals with countries in the Pacific that meant that refugees who came by sea would be sent there for processing and would never be allowed to settle permanently in Australia. But while they were recognised as refugees under a status determination process by the governments in PNG and Nauru, once evacuated to Australia they were detained, and that for years. They can be released only if one of the three ministers in the Department of Home Affairs, aka "the Minister", agrees to grant them a temporary bridging visa, allowing them to live in the community while they await resettlement. read more

In a press release on Tuesday (February 15), the Council of Europe's Commissioner for Human Rights, Dunja Mijatovic said: "Disagreements with other member states about disembarkation responsibilities should never be allowed to put human rights -- including the right to life -- at risk or exempt the authorities from their non-refoulement obligations." In a report on her visit to Malta last October, Mijatovic also stressed that Libya is not a safe place to disembark migrants intercepted at sea. To that end, the commissioner urged Maltese authorities to review their cooperation with the so-called "Libya's coast guard", which returns migrants to the country in order to prevent unauthorised migration to Europe. read more
