UN alarmed by 'increasing frequency' of Greek migrant pushbacks
The UN refugee agency said on Tuesday that it has long been alarmed by the "increasing frequency" of Greek migrant pushbacks.
"We are aware of the recent reports from the Turkish Coast Guard. In terms of pushbacks in general – at both land and sea borders - we have long been sounding the alarm on the increasing frequency of expulsions and pushbacks of refugees and asylum seekers at Europe’s land and sea borders and have called on states to investigate and halt these practices," UNHCR spokesperson Shabia Mantoo told media.
