Greece Dropped More Than A Thousand Migrants Into The Sea by panafrican(op): 6:09pm On Aug 31, 2020
This is where the World should raise its voice as one.
Everyone is quiet surely because most of those who were thrown into the sea were Africans.
Hello African Union and Ecowas are you there?

Greece Is Dropping Migrants into the Sea — And Europe Is Turning a Blind Eye

Reports this month showed how Greek authorities have pushed at least 1,072 migrants into the sea, forcing them to fend for their lives on rickety rafts and dinghies. The murderous policy is a gross violation of international law — yet faced with a harshened anti-migrant mood, other European governments have remained silent.

Time to protest before all Greek embassies around the world and call their diplomats in your country of residence to voice
your disagreement. Once those diplomatic missions are overwhelmed with millions of calls, they will get the message and stop being so evil.

Is the New York Times also lying ? come on. These Greeks are evil. Too bad the Romans did not exterminate them all.

RHODES, Greece — The Greek government has secretly expelled more than 1,000 refugees from Europe’s borders in recent months, sailing many of them to the edge of Greek territorial waters and then abandoning them in inflatable and sometimes overburdened life rafts.
Since March, at least 1,072 asylum seekers have been dropped at sea by Greek officials in at least 31 separate expulsions, according to an analysis of evidence by The New York Times from three independent watchdogs, two academic researchers and the Turkish Coast Guard. The Times interviewed survivors from five of those episodes and reviewed photographic or video evidence from all 31.
“It was very inhumane,” said Najma al-Khatib, a 50-year-old Syrian teacher, who says masked Greek officials took her and 22 others, including two babies, under cover of darkness from a detention center on the island of Rhodes on July 26 and abandoned them in a rudderless, motorless life raft before they were rescued by the Turkish Coast Guard.
“I left Syria for fear of bombing — but when this happened, I wished I’d died under a bomb,” she told The Times.
