Tragedy Strikes Migrant Boat off Greece with Hundreds on Board.

TL;DR Summary
The Greek coast guard is facing accusations of causing the recent ship tragedy off the coast of Kalamata, Greece, which has resulted in 81 deaths so far. Survivors of the accident are being housed in a registration center for asylum-seekers near Athens, where they are being watched over by private security guards. The Greek coast guard has denied the accusations, but the incident has raised questions about the EU's policy of deterrence toward asylum-seekers and the need for independent monitoring mechanisms to safeguard fundamental rights and address systemic border violence.
