🔴 Urgent: Distress situation! #Seabird spotted a boat with ~250 people onboard after an emergency call by #Alarmphone. @EUNAVFOR_MED aircraft was likely present. Merchant vessel SAN FELIX was ordered by Malta to leave the scene. They are out of fuel and are adrift and alone.

Four days ago, we emailed #Greek authorities and Frontex, alerting about 750 people on a boat in distress near Kalamata. Nobody intervened and the boat capsized.
Four days ago, approx 750 people were still alive.
Join us when we protest the systematic border killings:

While three civil sea rescue ships are blocked in the Central Mediterranean, one of Europe's deadliest shipwrecks in years occurred. Our Aurora is detained for another 16 days. 16 days that Italy's ultra-right government keeps us from rescuing people in distress at sea!

More and more of these reports are coming out, videos of survivors saying that the boat was towed by the Greek coast guard, still non of the survivors have been allowed to talk to the press, get axes to phones or use internet.
They are locked up behind barbed wire fences and heavily guarded from the outside world. You can ask yourself, what are the Greek authorities so afraid of, shouldn’t survivors be allowed to tell their story?
More and more information coming out points to the fact that the boat was towed by the Greek coast guard when it capsized, and that this wasn’t a rescue operation, but a pushback gone terribly wrong.
Now Greek authorities are trying their best to cover up the truth, denying any responsibility, even blaming the people onboard to have caused the boat to capsize, like they did in the Farmakonisi case from 2014.
1/3 I just came back from the Malakasa refugee center where 71 survivors of the #pylosshipwreck #Πυλος shipwreck are staying.
Three survivors confirmed that the Greek Coast Guard tied a rope to their boat, pull them AND THEN the boat capsized.
