Libya: pushed back migrants speak out: “Beaten and deported to the Sahara”

December 2, 2009

ROME - Beaten by Italian soldiers and deported to the Sahara. The migrants pushed back to Libya speak out. For the first time. From the cells of a prison situated in the middle of the Libyan desert, a thousand kilometres south of Tripoli, where they have ended up after having been sent back to Libya on Italian military ships. We have reached them by phone. They are 38 Somalis. All men. Part of that ship crew composed of 81 Somalis who left Tripoli on the 27th August 2009 and were rejected by Italian authorities after three days at sea, on the 30th August.

Police Violence against Migrants and Activists in Greece

October 20, 2009

During the past few weeks police violence against migrants and activists in
Greece is becoming more and more intense. After the election of the new
government, police has been given orders to intensify security checks all
over Athens while areas like Exarcheia and Nikaia have been blocked in order
to facilitate the "work" of the police. Arrests, body search and
imprisonment of activists and migrants without justification have become
commonplace.

A stop in hell: Pagani, a prison for migrants at the gate of Fortress Europe

October 15, 2009

The Greek island of Lesvos is just a short sail from the Turkish coast - you can see Turkey from the island. Here many migrants try crossing into Europe, usually on inflatable boats. Frontex patrols the coast to prevent them from landing; those who land may be detained in one of the most appalling prisons for migrants we have ever seen or heard of.
