First research to collate figures documents the people who have lost their lives, with drownings during sea crossings on the rise. IFrances Webber, vice-chair of IRR, said: “All these deaths are attributable to policies which treat asylum seekers as criminals, separates families and denies those seeking asylum a speedy legal route to safety and security.” read more

Vertritt die Bundesregierung die Ansicht, dass es eine völkerrechtliche Pflicht zur Seenotrettung von Flüchtlingen und Migranten gibt? Hat die Bundesregierung Erkenntnisse dahin gehend, dass einige Mitglied-staaten der EU durch das Zurückhalten von Geflüchteten gegen völkerrechtliche Regelungen verstoßen? [...] Warum hat die Bundesregierung am 3. März 2020 unter anderem einer Änderung der Schiffssicherheitsverordnung [...] zugestimmt, trotz der Gefahr, dass als Folge der Verordnungsänderung die Anzahl der Opfer eines Ertrinkungstods höchstwahrscheinlich maßgeblich steigen wird? read more

Dans le CRA de Vincennes comme dans toutes les autres prisons pour sans-papiers, les conditions de retention sont pourries et les humiliations et les violences sont quotidiennes. Si tous les témoignages des prisonniers-ères racontent ça, il est rare de voir des images de l'intérieur : les portables avec caméras sont interdits, pour isoler encore plus les retenu.e.s, et pour cacher toute la merde qui se passe dans ces taules. Malgré ça, des prisonniers sont arrivés à faire sortir une vidéo, qu'on publie ici. read more

Word has got around in the meantime about what the 'Seebrücke' is. But what is the 'Balkanbrücke'? The activists from 'Seebrücke' are demanding the communal reception of refugees in Germany and other EU countries. In doing so, they are focusing primarily on people who were rescued from distress in the Mediterranean Sea or who are stuck in refugee camps on the Greek islands. The 'Balkanbrücke', on the other hand, draws attention to the forgotten misery in the countries of the Western Balkans, where thousands of people on the borders of the EU hope in vain for progress and experience human rights violations every day. read more

What to do? read more

On the night of 27 June, at least 61 people died in a shipwreck on a lake in Van, a Turkish province bordering Iran.
