Greek Coast Guard Denies Allegations of Migrant Deaths Amid New Reports
News summary

Greece has denied allegations from a BBC report that its coast guard has been responsible for the deaths of 43 migrants between 2020 and 2023 by forcibly returning them to the sea or throwing them overboard. The report, based on eyewitness accounts, claims that nine migrants were deliberately thrown into the water, resulting in their deaths. The Greek government firmly rejects these accusations, asserting that their border forces have saved many migrants from perilous situations. Meanwhile, RESQSHIP, a German charity, reported that ten migrants died after their boat flooded in the Mediterranean, but 51 others were rescued near Tunisia. The United Nations has highlighted the central Mediterranean as the world's deadliest migrant route, with over 20,000 deaths since 2014.
