🥳Today, the court in Chania, Crete, acquitted three Egyptian men - S.M., E.A., and B.A. - who had been facing charges of "facilitating unauthorized entry" & the risk of 205 years in prison each. Greek authorities had singled them out as smugglers solely because their nationality
⚖️27 Days Until Homayoun Sabetara’s appeal trial. Sentenced to 18 years in prison, Homayoun was arrested by Greek authorities while driving across the Turkish-Greek border. We demand his acquittal and an end to the unjust treatment faced by People on the Move. #freehomayoun
🚨EU anti-smuggling laws are taken to court!
On the occasion of the landmark #Kinsa case, the CJEU examines the EU legal framework criminalizing the facilitation of unauthorized immigration and assesses its compatibility with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.
Europas „Anti-Schleuser“-Gesetze kommen vor Gericht! Gut so, denn viele Geflüchtete & solidarische Menschen werden wegen angeblicher „Beihilfe zur unerlaubten Einreise“ zu Unrecht kriminalisiert. Der #Kinsa-Fall wird über den PRO ASYL-Rechtshilfefonds finanziell unterstützt. (1)
At the @court_rights this morning for the hearing of GRJ v Greece. This is the first time the #ECtHR will examine Greece's systematic practice of "drift-backs" – abandoning asylum seekers at sea in rafts– since this pattern of summary expulsions was first reported in 2020
⚖ The lawyers of @GCRefugees in the @ECHR_CEDH today supporting a woman refugee, in a case concerning the systematic practice of pushbacks in the recent years in Greece.
Justice will be delivered.

#Greece: Another way to read this story could be that a 🇬🇷 Coast Guard vessel intentionally rammed a boat with 17 #RefugeesGr on board, off the island of Symi, killing one person & injuring 5 more‼️And did so without worrying about the result, since they have a license to kill...
In an interview with Irish human rights researcher Dr. Niamh Keady-Tabbal:
We just finished the hearing for the case of GRJ versus Greece. This was a case filed by a, at the time, 15 year old Afghan minor refugee who was abducted from the refugee camp on Samos that he tried to seek asylum in and was subject to a summary expulsion by the Greek authorities, who took the minor away from the camp, brought him out to sea on a Coast Guard vessel, and expelled him by abandoning him on an inflatable raft with only one other minor.
The treatment that GRJ was subject to as part of a systematic practice of the Greek Coast Guard, referred to as drift back. And this was the first time that this particular practice was examined by the European Court of Human Rights.
Today's hearing could clear all charges against @ElHiblu3! The alleged offenses in 2019 happened in international waters, outside Malta's jurisdiction. Just like justice prevailed for the @Freepylos9 case, we demand to #DropTheCharges now for #ElHilbu3!

Today at 9am the next hearing against the #ElHiblu3 is scheduled in the courts of Valletta, Malta.
We cross our fingers to step in line with recent decisions in Greek and Italian courts and see the case dismissed – even if that’s only a slim chance.

Heute, 9 Uhr findet vor dem Gericht in Valletta, Malta, die nächste Anhörung gegen die #ElHiblu3 statt.
Wir drücken die Daumen dass nach wegweisenden Entscheidungen griech. und ital. Gerichte auch diese Klage abgewiesen wird! die Chance dazu ist gering.

All our solidarity with R.F.M., found guily of arson in the #Moria6 appeal trial.
Today there is only rage. Tomorrow there will be more and better resistance strategies.
The impunity of the states for the torture and systematic incarceration of people on the move should end!
Dr. Mahrang Baloch, in a video message from the Relief Camp at Javed Complex Gwadar, requests the Baloch nation to participate in the Unity Campaign of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee to gather assistance for the flood victims in Gwadar. She emphasized that it is our national duty to attend to our brothers and sisters in these dire circumstances. The Baloch Yakjehti Committee will organize assistance camps in all of Balochistan in these three days under the Unity Campaign. We request the Baloch Nation to contact the organizers of the Baloch Yakjehti Committee and provide us with the basic necessities of life so that we could help them reach the calamity-hit areas.

GRRRRR🤬Das völlig überlastete griechische Justizsystem.zum 🤮Durch die brutale willkürliche Kriminalisierung von schutzsuchenden Menschen. Trotz absurder Anklagen müssen die Menschen lange auf ihren Prozess warten, warten, warten, warten, warten...
While many of us are closely watching the final hearings in the @IuventaCrew trial, the trial against 16-year-old H. Elfallah, who is facing even more absurd charges, was postponed today to November.
More waiting, more uncertainty, more stress.
Solidarity with H. Elfallah!
