Denmark's Migration Minister @mattiastesfaye is under intense pressure over plan to return Syrian refugees. The report used to justify the policy is crumbling, this is how @LHreports uncovered a story hiding in plain sight since 2019 THREAD
Will Denmark or the UK be the first european gov to outsource asylum processesing? The race is on. Fckng despicable. #asylum #AllRefugeesWelcome theguardian.com/uk-news/2022…
Well deserved @LHreports
We're delighted to be named among this year's #IJ4EU Impact Award for our Frontex work. Kudos to the big team who made this happen @bellingcat @derspiegel @ARD_Presse & many friends & colleagues who supported. 1/2
Excellent and important opinion piece by @bash_deeb #dkpol Europe’s refugee double standard leaves it vulnerable politico.eu/article/europes-…
In Syria, opposition is demolished - brick by brick, literally. #syria @LHreports #AllRefugeesWelcome
Today, Syria's military tweeted that it will blow up unexploded weapons outside Damascus.

Dårlig journalisk og opportunistiske politikere forvansker #biomasse debatten. Det er ærgerligt, for den er vigtig. Tak til pressenævnet for at sige stop. #dkmedier #dkpol #dkgreen

See the photographs that prove @Frontex leadership knew all about Aegean pushbacks of asylum seekers but chose cover up over confronting an EU member state. @LHreports uncovers a major European scandal 🧵
Excellent reporting by Daniel Howden, holding up a mirror by the Polish border and questioning European xenophobia over the last decade. #AllRefugeesWelcome #dkpol #dkmedier
Danish hypocracy towards #refugees is reaching unprecedented hights. The citizens of #Bagenkop recently managed to block a deportation center. Now, a reception center for Ukrainians is being fasttracked in the same building. #refugeeswelcome (if white) tv2fyn.dk/langeland/fik-stop…

Our 2019 @DartCenter course co-fellow @pzfahad has been arrested a few days ago in India's Jammu and Kashmir state, for doing his job. Fahad is a talented and respected journalists. We issued a statement to demand that he's freed immediately. Circulate it if you can.

Why did factory farming became Spain's hottest topic? What does it tell us about the future of farming in Europe? Join us for a bilingual event (ENG/ESP) to hear from the team behind our investigation into Spanish pork zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_…
Thanks to #Ireland for setting the better example now that #danish gov @Spolitik and @mattiastesfaye is wrecklessly racing for the bottom bbc.com/news/world-europe-60…
Good analysis by FP editor on the Djokovic case, shining light on aussie externalization policies, which #Denmark and other govs have studied intensely #syrianotsafe #refugee foreignpolicy.com/2022/01/14…

Dänemarks Abschiebepolitik - Ein Beitrag in @newhumanitarian mit einem Zitat von @BenteScheller .
thenewhumanitarian.org/news-…
Former Foreign Secretary @Christianfbach, who was the GenSec of DRC in 2018, said “given the way in which this area has become increasingly politicised, I question whether DRC should continue producing reports on asylum in cooperation with the authorities.” He was fired that year
Current Gen-Sec of DRC @CharlotteSlente refused an interview. In a written response, she said: "We still believe the report became better with our participation." Yet, DRC has been unable to show any evidence they helped improve the outcome.
