Addis Ababa, July 13, 2021 (Walta) – A top EU official said that the Greek government must stop the illegal deportation of migrants arriving on the country’s borders.
The Commissioner for Home Affairs, Ylva Johansonn, said that the “very well-founded” reports of ‘pushbacks’ at sea and on land were “violations of fundamental European values”.
Human rights groups allege that thousands of people seeking asylum in Europe have been pushed back from Greece to Turkey before being given a chance to apply for asylum.
