Greek police have been accused of using masked migrants to forcibly push other migrants back across the border into Turkey. The incidents reportedly occurred near the Evros River, a common crossing point between the two countries, in recent weeks.
According to some eyewitnesses and reports from non-governmental organizations, Greek police have been using groups of masked migrants to deter and push back other migrants attempting to cross into Greece. It is alleged that these masked individuals are also involved in violent acts against the migrants, including theft and physical assault.
Greek authorities have denied these accusations, stating that they are committed to upholding the law and protecting the country’s borders. The Greek government has a longstanding policy of preventing unauthorized crossings into its territory and has received support from the European Union to secure its borders.
The use of masked migrants in border enforcement raises ethical and legal concerns, as well as questions about the treatment of migrants at the Greek-Turkish border. Human rights organizations have called for an investigation into these allegations and for the protection of the rights of all individuals, regardless of their immigration status.
The situation at the Greek-Turkish border remains tense, with thousands of migrants attempting to cross into Europe in search of refuge and a better life. The actions of the Greek police and the treatment of migrants at the border continue to be a subject of international scrutiny and debate.
