CitizenVectron Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Greek coastguard threw migrants overboard to their deaths, witnesses say WWW.BBC.CO.UK More than 40 people are alleged to have died as a result of Greek coastguard actions, BBC analysis reveals. Quote 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. Quote The Greek coastguard told our investigation it strongly rejects all accusations of illegal activities. We showed footage of 12 people being loaded into a Greek coastguard boat, and then abandoned on a dinghy, to a former senior Greek coastguard officer. When he got up from his chair, and with his mic still on, he said it was "obviously illegal" and "an international crime". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
