Greek Coastguard Threw Migrants Overboard to Their Deaths, witnesses say

Monday, June 17, 2024

The Greek coastguard has caused the deaths of dozens of migrants in the Mediterranean over a three-year period, witnesses say, including nine who were deliberately thrown into the water. The nine are among more than 40 people alleged to have died as a result of being forced out of Greek territorial waters, or taken back out to sea after reaching Greek islands, BBC analysis has found.

Expect Fat Donnie Felon to be singing the praises of a certain Zorba in his next unhinged rant.

That sucks, but clearly the Greeks are sending a message not to come to their country illegally.

@#4 ... he Greeks are sending a message not to come to their country illegally. ...

So... your current alias apparently approves of the methods to that end?

Killing people without a trial or any manner of a justice process?

Future migrants won't be hearing about this story, and it's not going to stop the thousands of years of human migration.

Why it sucks from whose point of view?
I bet the guy who got thrown in thought it sucked cause he was drowning
And the fellow who threw him in, maybe he thought he was protecting his country
Maybe they were making a tik tok video
But for sure, all involved, could care less about what people here think

Surely this is a MARPOL Annex IV violation.

And since Greece is a signatory, I would expect action to be taken by the EU.

We're better than this.

The irony of an American saying this.

Newcomers into the US are killing citizens weekly. Wheres their trial or any manner of justice.
