At the beginning of the month, the Greek Parliament passed a measure to stop #asylum applications from North African countries for three months.
Greece's far-right Migration Minister #Plevris says that the path for people fleeing their countries is now “either to prison or back to their country.”
Suspending asylum procedures is a clear violation of human rights and is almost unparalleled in its cruelty.
Hundreds of people are now detained to be deported without asylum procedures.
It has long been clear that harsh measures designed to prevent people from entering the #EU do not lead to fewer people fleeing, they just make their already extremely dangerous journey even more life-threatening.
We call on the Greek Government to immediately withdraw this illegal legislation and demand freedom of movement for all!
