The refugees we spoke to reported that the cold and humidity in their tents, especially during the night, are unbearable as they have not been given enough blankets and warm clothes. “My main problem is the cold. I try to get dressed as warm as I can in order not to feel the cold. Before the lockdown, some organisations distributed clothes. Trousers, shoes, but all of them were for summer. After the lockdown, they did not distribute again, and we do not have clothes for winter”, says Fatiha from Syria. Saeb, a victim of torture from Afghanistan, underlines: “There are not enough blankets. We do not know how we will go through this winter… What breaks our heart is that we do not have humane conditions, they perceive us as animals”. read more

"Bis jetzt haben wir noch keine Dokumente gefunden, die eine Gesetzesverletzung belegen würden", twitterte die EU-Agentur Frontex vor einigen Wochen, nachdem Spiegel, ARD und Bellingcat Belege dafür veröffentlicht hatten, dass Frontex an illegalen Pushbacks an der EU-Außengrenze beteiligt ist. Offenbar musste die Behörde aktiv wegschauen, um nichts zu finden: Hätte sie einfach die Videos der Veröffentlichungen analysiert, wäre ihr aufgefallen, dass die EU an ihren Außengrenzen Menschenrechtsverletzungen nicht nur duldet, sondern selbst daran mitwirkt. read more

Die griechischen Behörden antworteten auf Anfrage der Frankfurter Rundschau, man habe sicherstellen müssen, dass die Reporter „nicht an der Überstellung der Migranten aus der Türkei“ beteiligt gewesen seien. Deshalb habe man sie mit zur Wache genommen. Theurich denkt, dass die Presse durch solche Aktionen eingeschüchtert werden soll. „Die Küstenwache möchte nicht dabei erwischt werden, wie sie Menschen illegal zurückschiebt“, vermutet der Dresdner Journalist. read more

Den Abgeordneten waren Leggeris Antworten nicht genug: Wie etwa werde unterschieden, wann ein Schlauchboot in Seenot sei oder alleine weiterfahren könne? Und ob es wirklich ausreichend sei, bei den griechischen Behörden um Auskünfte zu bitten - wo doch bekannt sei, dass diese entsprechende Vorwürfe kategorisch zurückwiesen? Der Franzose antwortete, er hoffe auf Hinweise der EU-Kommission, was die Interpretation der Verordnung angehe. Viele andere Fragen blieben unbeantwortet: Leggeri hatte bei seinem Eingangsstatement so stark überzogen, dass keine Zeit blieb, auf alle Fragen einzugehen. read more
