BUT EU’s Facilitation Directive defines ‘any intentional assistance’ as a crime.
So parents accross the EU, who teach kids to help a person in need, despite skin colour, might unintentionally incite facilitation.. 🤔
So much legal certainty in 🇪🇺🫣
Academic and civil society evidence is showing the trend that the EU counter smuggling policies are exacerbating the vulnerability of migrants and leading to more violations of their rights and crimes against them and those who help them.

🔥 NEW: MIGRANT SMUGGLING
Here's a fact: if people rely on smuggling to get to Europe, it's because they have no better option. Cracking down on "smugglers" (often migrants themselves) doesn't open better options.
🧵 & brief on how punishment policies do more harm than good⬇️
Today charges on human smuggling against Andrea Costa president of @Baobab have been dropped. This is great news, but it reminds us that people and NGOs helping migrants are still criminalised in the EU. #helpisnocrime

“They came to help migrants, now Europe has turned on them” — MPG’s @ConteCarmin88 cited by @theAlexPalmer in the @NYTmag for his role in documenting the criminalisation of humanitarian assistance. #helpisnocrime

The trend of prosecuting acts of compassion as 'migrant smuggling' in 🇪🇺 has reached #Lithuania 🇱🇹
Civil society actors not only fill in the gaps left by governments, uphold #rights, but also provide for democratic #Accountability

“We find ourselves in a place where law starts to diverge from common moral principles” 💔
In Lithuania, local volunteers and @MSF doctors were fined for helping a migrant at the border with Belarus. #Solidarity should be celebrated, not criminalised.

3/4 We call out the ‘pandora box’ clause in 🇪🇺Facilitation directive that defines ‘any intentional assistance’ to ‘irregular migrants’ as a crime. It has been misused against #refugees & #migrants, their family members, & #HumanRightsDefenders.

Trial of human rights defenders @sean_binder_ & @SarahMardini44 & 22 volunteers got prolonged.. after three years!
We claim in our @ReSOMA_EU research that prosecution can be persecution!

This trail is happening today. 👇🏻 Please send solidarity. It’s madness that this is even being considered a crime #helpisnocrime
This week two humanitarian workers @sean_binder_ & @SarahMardini44 will be on trial in Greece
They face up to 25 years in jail
Their “crime”?
Saving refugees & asylum seekers at sea
Sean is in Greece
Sara is being refused permission to attend her trial
“Legally and morally, it is the right thing to do”
- 27-year-old Sean Binder on the criminal trial he's facing this week in Greece for helping people landing safely in Lesbos.
Solidarity should be celebrated, not criminalised.

Sarah, Seán and Nassos were search + rescuers on Lesvos.
Despite fulfilling their legal duty to help those in distress, they now face 25 years imprisonment on charges such as espionage.

Up to 25 years in prison for helping to save lives. And such legal action is taken in order to 'protect' us. But without compassion for human life, what exactly are we protecting?

Another activist in France convicted for his solidarity with migrants, as the situation at the Franco-Italian border becomes increasingly dangerous for those crossing in order to seek asylum. #Helpisnocrime
Ce 3 novembre 2021, la cour d'appel d'Aix-en-Provence a de nouveau condamné un militant solidaire pour "délit de solidarité". L'Anafé et @emmaus_france appellent à mettre enfin terme à ce délit : la solidarité n'est pas un délit !

In today’s #conference by @uni_ct on Social #Disobedience we argue with @StephSmialowski that policing of humanitarianism arise when states disobey internationally agreed norms.
Human rights #defenders merely uphold them.
