Under Greece's latest flagrant attack on international law all asylum seekers will be sent to jails, from where they may well be pushed back

Twenty-four people face trial on Thursday 18 November 2021. The threat is not just to their freedom, but to international law itself.

The people of Samos have spoken against the Greek governments' repeated pushbacks of refugees. It's well worth reading what they have to say

If Belarus is breaking international law, so is Poland. Our priority must be the rights and safety of the people trapped on the border.

Despite its - entirely incorrect - claims, the Greek government's latest sea 'rescue' was in fact an attempt to break international law.

Greece and the EU's policies on pushbacks are creating the exact circumstances in which smugglers thrive, and creating chaos within states.
