While this is great news, the spread of #disinformation surrounding why the implementation of the #italy - #albania protocol #failed (for now) is quite concerning. Some #explanatory points. 🧵 1/7

🧵 NEW REPORT: EU border funds are booming. How they’re spent is often opaque and harmful.

With @ECRE we examine how the Border Management and Visa Instrument funds tools + operations that risk harming migrants. Monitoring is often lacking.

⭐️ NEW REPORT ⭐️ The draft Facilitation Directive is meant to fight migrant smuggling but will likely increase widespread criminalisation of #migration + solidarity. EU lawmakers must stop this + recognise that lack of regular routes, not smuggling, generates irregular migration.

[ENAR Europe @ENAREurope]

Two weeks ago, our colleague was racially profiled and detained at @ZagrebAirport. This unacceptable incident highlights a trend that we have long been warning about – systemic racial profiling at Europe’s borders is on the rise. (1/3) 🧵

We're extremely happy that @IuventaCrew is finally free from judicial persecution simply for saving lives. But this trial should've never happened in the first place, and many more are being brought to court right now all over Europe. More in our report 👇

If possible, the self congratulatory tone of these tweets (and of all the institutional communication calling the Migration Pact 'historic'), makes it all even more sad and disturbing.

[Platform for Undocumented Migrants (PICUM) @picum_ngo]

This is Mamadou Kouassi, the scriptwriter for 'Io Capitano' who inspired the story and lived through the journey himself, asking on behalf of the whole film crew that MEPs reject this #MigrationPact. ❤️

[Platform for Undocumented Migrants (PICUM) @picum_ngo]

We were some 80 human rights organisations only a couple of months ago. Many more additions on, same message: MEPs must reject this #MigrationPact and the violence it entails.

🧵 NEW REPORT: At least 117 people faced judicial proceedings in the EU for helping migrants in 2023.

📰 Schengen should be an area of #humanrights, equality and freedom of movement, not racial profiling and pushbacks. But the current revision of the Schengen Borders Code goes exactly in the latter direction.

Only 1 day left until the EU Migration Pact is voted in the LIBE Committee. After years of work, agreement on this complex legislation was rushed through in 48-hour marathon last Dec, raising democratic concerns.

Each year Belgium locks up thousands of innocent people. Let's stop the detention of migrants! #Move #StopDetention

[Silvia @CartaSilvi]

Imagine being held in prison-like conditions without having committed a crime.

Now, imagine that an old 3310 is the only way to call your family or your lawyer, limited to a few hours a day.

More on the realities of immigration detention in the latest @picum_ngo publication👇

[Platform for Undocumented Migrants (PICUM) @picum_ngo]

🧵 More than 100,000 people are held in immigration detention in Europe every year. But we know very little of what happens inside the detention centres, also because access to mobile phones in detention is often restricted, if not banned.

🧵 The #MigrationPact negotiations are over. As EU leaders are about to sell this as a "historic" reform of the migration system in Europe, we join other leading human rights orgs in denouncing its harms.

What this Pact will mean for people in practice 👇🏾
