Since March 2020, over 27,000 migrants travelling across the Aegean Sea to Greece from Turkey have faced ‘drift-backs’ – the practice of being abandoned at sea – an investigation by Forensic Architecture/Forensis has revealed. Shockingly, 26 cases recorded indicate that the Greek Coast Guard threw people into the sea, two of whom were handcuffed. read more

The UK lags behind other European countries in the number of asylum seekers granted refugee status. By "exporting" its responsibility with the current deportation agreement with Rwanda, and thus now transferring responsibility entirely to another country, it is attempting to move further away from its international and moral obligations. The agreement represents a crisis of responsibility and sets a dangerous precedent for other countries to leverage migration for political purposes. read more

His memory is fading - but his influence on future European asylum policy is only now really taking hold. In recent weeks, the EU is moving ahead with a fundamental reform of the asylum system, which is almost entirely based on Seehofer's ideas. The core idea is that those who reach the external borders will first be sent to camps to undergo a preliminary examination to determine whether access to a regular asylum procedure will be granted at all. read more

Austrian Interior Minister Gerhard Karner (ÖVP) wants to discuss deportations of "illegal" immigrants to non-EU countries, following the example of Great Britain. "I know that it is not legally possible now, but we should discuss it and talk about it," said Karner. The UK's heavily criticised agreement with Rwanda provides for "illegal" entrants to be denied access to an asylum procedure. Instead, they are to be sent to Rwanda and apply for asylum there. read more

In September 2021, Domenico Lucano, the former mayor of the small Italian town of Riace, was sentenced to 13 years and two months in prison by a court in Locri. His case is just one example of many of the criminalisation of solidarity with people on the move. As mayor, he became known worldwide for welcoming migrants and his policies towards refugees. Since 2019, however, he has been accused of belonging to a criminal organisation, fraud, bribery, embezzlement and aiding and abetting "illegal entry", among other charges. Now his trial will continue on 26 October and admissible evidence will be re-examined. read more
