EU Urges Greece to Investigate Alleged Migrant Abandonment at Sea
TL;DR Summary
The Greek Coast Guard has been caught on video abandoning a group of asylum-seeking migrants, including a baby, on an inflatable raft in the Aegean Sea in April. The migrants were later rescued by Turkish Coast Guard boats. Greece has denied engaging in illegal extrajudicial deportation, but the video evidence may be the most damning yet of the Greek authorities' violation of international laws and E.U. rules governing how asylum seekers must be treated.
