Taking Hard Line, Greece Turns Back Migrants by Abandoning Them at Sea
16th August 2020
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.
…
Illegal under international law, the expulsions are the most direct and sustained attempt by a European country to block maritime migration using its own forces since the height of the migration crisis in 2015, when Greece was the main thoroughfare for migrants and refugees seeking to enter Europe.
Saw that coming.
When one is infested with leeches one focuses on ripping them off as fast as possible and doesn’t worry a lot about where they land.
