The defendants had been arrested, along with others, during the so-called 'black Friday', on Friday 24 June marked by an unprecedented and extensive attempt by some 2,000 migrants to "forcibly" cross the border crossing to Melilla. read more

A year ago, the humanitarian crisis at the EU's external borders with Belarus escalated. To date, 23 deaths from the border area have been officially documented and humanitarian organisations reported 187 missing persons at the end of June. From September 2021 to June 2022, the Polish government set up a restricted zone along the more than 400-kilometre-long border with Belarus, covering almost 200 localities and blocking access to it for Humanitarian Organisations and the media. Several thousand people were and still are in distress. read more

Salvini pledged to move screening centers for people seeking political asylum to northern Africa, in a bid to prevent economic migrants from pouring into Italy. read more

The rescue organisations SOS Méditerranée, Sea-Watch and Médecins Sans Frontières are calling on European member states and associated states to establish a government-led and proactive search and rescue fleet in the central Mediterranean. This must respond quickly and appropriately to all distress calls, as well as establish a predictable mechanism for disembarking survivors. This is the only way to prevent further deaths at sea. read more

The BAMF has repeatedly refused to recognize the asylum application of queer refugees. The reason given for this practice is that if queer refugees behave inconspicuously in their countries of origin, they cannot be persecuted on the grounds of sexuality. Thus, there is no option to successfully apply for asylum. read more

A group of people from Yemen was picked up by the police in Görlitz, where the Neisse River separates Poland and Germany, and sent back to Poland. In Saxony and Brandenburg, some of these cases are now known. Activists and refugee councils point to legalized pushbacks, since according to the Geneva Convention on Refugees, the right to asylum exists and must always be checked upon entry. read more

Since May 2021, the European border agency Frontex has been using a drone in the area around Malta and thus has important information from boats that are near the Libyan coast. This information is passed on to Libyan authorities who intercept migrants and take them back to Libya to detention camps. In the specific case of 07/30/2021 being investigated by Human Rights Watch and Border Forensic, aerial footage shows that one of the boats was intercepted within the Maltese search and rescue zone and that the nearby Sea-Watch rescue vessel was not informed. read more

The European Border Agency Frontex now wants to deploy helicopters in addition to aircraft and drones. The call for tenders is to be made up this year and the rotorcraft will then be procured next year. The new rotorcrafts are to be used in areas where there are no suitable landing sites for aircrafts and drones. The place of operation could therefore be the Evros, the border river between Greece and Turkey. In the region, refugees are regularly pushed back to Turkish regions. So far, the "Poseidon" land mission, an airship tethered to a 1,000-meter cable, has been operating in the region. read more
