๐จ Greece Da Kine Act Caught: No Leave Migrants Stranded at Sea but Broke da Rule
Bra, the Greek side ๐ฌ๐ท been say they don’t leave migrants to drown in the sea ๐. But guess what, they got busted doing just that! ๐ โโ๏ธ๐ฅ We’ve seen videos showing asylum seekers, including some small kids ๐ถ, all being gathered together, taken out to the ocean, and then left on an inflatable raft by the Greek Coast Guard.
These people have been moving around different countries ๐ for years, trying to escape war in the Horn of Africa. They’ve just started to set foot in Europe, hoping to begin new lives, when masked men ๐ญ came and snatched away all their belongings.
They were crammed into a small boat ๐ค, trying to shield themselves from the scorching sun ๐, rocking on the vast sea. Naima Hassan Aden, a 27-year-old woman from Somalia, held her 6-month-old baby in her arms and wept bitterly ๐ข.
“We never thought we would survive that day,” said Naima. “They placed us on the inflatable raft without any care or compassion.” ๐
These incidents often go unnoticed, but this time, an activist ๐ฃ filmed everything and shared it with The New York Times ๐๏ธ.
The Times went to verify the footage ๐๏ธ and also spoke with 11 asylum seekers from Somalia, Eritrea, and Ethiopia, who were found in a detention center in Izmir, Turkey ๐น๐ท. Most of them were still wearing the same clothes as in the video. They shared their stories, and everything matched what had happened in the video.
The Greek government ๐๏ธ didn’t want to comment on this, but Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis defended his government’s “tough but fair” immigration policies ๐. He boasted about a 90% decrease in the arrival of “illegal migrants.”
But then this video ๐ฅ emerged, provided by an Austrian aid worker, Fayad Mulla, who has been working on the island for years to document the hardships faced by migrants. This might be the strongest evidence yet of the Greek authorities violating international laws and E.U. regulations ๐ช๐บ.
The Times verified the video, conducting thorough checks to identify the individuals in the video, determine the location and timing ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ.
They even showed the video to three high-ranking officials from the European Commission in Brussels. Afterward, the Commission expressed concern about the footage, stating that although they hadn’t verified it themselves, they would discuss the matter with the Greek authorities ๐.
Greece, along with the European Union, has taken a tough stance on migrants since the influx of refugees from Syria, Iraq, and other countries in 2015 and 2016. They received over a million refugees, brah, and it changed the way Europe perceived everything, sparking various negative sentiments ๐ฅ.
Greece isn’t the only country cracking down on migrants; Poland, Italy, and Lithuania have also changed their laws to make it easier to reject migrants and penalize those who assist them ๐ซ.
But now, these new videos and testimonies shed light on what has truly been happening in Greece. Some people hope that this might be the catalyst for bringing about change in the system. After all, these individuals are just seeking a safe place to live, not the harsh treatment they’ve been subjected to. They deserve more aloha, don’t you think? ๐ค๐๐
