Since March, at least 1,072 asylum seekers have been dropped at sea by Greek officials in at least 31 separate expulsions, according to an analysis of evidence by The New York Times from three independent watchdogs, two academic researchers and the Turkish Coast Guard. The Times interviewed survivors from five of those episodes and reviewed photographic or video evidence from all 31.
“It was very inhumane,” said Najma al-Khatib, a 50-year-old Syrian teacher, who says masked Greek officials took her and 22 others, including two babies, under cover of darkness from a detention center on the island of Rhodes on July 26 and abandoned them in a rudderless, motorless life raft before they were rescued by the Turkish Coast Guard.
“I left Syria for fear of bombing — but when this happened, I wished I’d died under a bomb,” she told The Times.
Germany does the same, for example: They sent people, they deem to be from Serbia if they were born in former Yugoslavia(even if born in the ie Croatian part), who have lived almost their whole lives in Germany to Serbia with no connection to the country, without a passport and nothing but whatever they can carry on them.
Many of them become homeless, because without proper documentation you can't rent an apartment, can't create a bank account, often not even hostels will accept them.
Countries like Serbia don't want to do much about it because they hope to become EU members at some point.
It is an absolute horror, an absolute tragedy. For those interested this is a very good documentary(some parts only in German) on the issue.
