A Greek naval court has charged 17 coast guard officers over one of the Mediterranean's worst shipwrecks two years ago, in which hundreds of people are believed to have drowned, three sources said on Friday. The shipwreck of an overloaded migrant boat in international waters off the southwestern Greek town of Pylos on June 14, 2023, sent shockwaves across Europe and beyond. The naval court is still investigating the circumstances around the incident. read more

The EU Commission wants to facilitate deportations to so-called ‘safe third countries’. In future, this should also be possible if rejected asylum seekers have no connection to this country.

On 21 May 2025, the Italian Constitutional Court will hear for the first time a controversial law that imposes sanctions on civilian sea rescuers in the Mediterranean - among other things for allegedly not following instructions from the Libyan coastguard. Human Rights Watch and ECCHR have submitted statements in which they emphasise that the law violates international law, in particular the Non-Refoulment-Principle to countries such as Libya. Refugees there are at risk of serious human rights violations. The decision could have far-reaching consequences for the protection of human rights at Europe's external borders. read more

Contrary to the general trend of falling migration numbers to the European Union, the English Channel is seeing an increase in crossings. This is confirmed by figures published by the EU border agency Frontex last week. In the first four months of this year, more than 18,000 people attempted to cross the strait, which is only 30 kilometres narrow at one point but dangerous due to the many ship movements - an increase of five per cent compared to the same period last year. read more

Now the Ministry of the Interior is urging a change of course. However, the government in Athens does not agree with this. read more

There are places in this world where law protects you like a second skin. It walks with you into offices, hospitals, airports, schools, police stations. It makes people speak gently to you. It ensures that your name is recorded properly, that your body is not touched without your consent. But for others, law vanishes at the moment of arrival. read more

For years, NGOs have denounced Bulgaria’s human rights violations - from pushbacks and detention to physical and psychological abuse. Yet, European states continue to deport people there under the false premise that it is a ‘safe’ country. A new report by No Name Kitchen exposes systematic human rights violations: People face homelessness, lack of medical care, abuse in overcrowded detention centers, and coercion into signing “voluntary” return agreements. The report highlights not only Bulgaria’s role but also the broader complicity of EU states in a deportation system that disregards basic human rights. read more

Control, detention, deportation - these are the cornerstones of the Dublin procedure under detention conditions, which is being trialled at the Austrian border. The case of a young Syrian woman shows the glaring shortcomings of the so-called pilot procedure. Individual protection concerns are of secondary importance and access to constitutional asylum procedures and effective legal protection is denied. read more
