70+ migrant-led organisations call on EU leaders to end it's war on migrants and change course in migration policy!
For the past few weeks, we have watched as EU leaders have declared war on migrants and international law.

‼️Die Politik überbietet sich in Forderungen, die Rechte von Geflüchteten & Migrant*innen zu beschneiden. Doch was ist eigentlich rechtlich zulässig und wie werden Zurückweisung und Notlage definiert? Das und weitere Fragen beantworten wir in unserem Q&A: ecchr.eu/fall/kontrollen-und…

Two years since the #Melilla border crossing was turned into a death trap, 70 people are still missing, 27 known dead. As part of @BorderForensic investigation, we echo the demands addressed to Spain and Morocco: truth, identification, release & justice. 👉borderforensics.org/investig…

Europe's “anti-smuggling” laws go on trial today!
EU's highest court reviews the so-called Facilitators Package which wrongly criminalizes people on the move & humanitarian assistance. The laws must adhere to human rights, assure protection for people on the move & end penalties.

1st: Acknowledge refugees
2nd: Listen to them
3rd: Tell about their stories
4th: Welcome them
5th: Include them in all steps
The list of kindness towards refugees goes on endlessly.
I wrapped their stories and faces around me because I live with them ever—since I was born.
Today in Frankfurt, our first mobile exhibition showcasing the work of refugee’s human rights defenders in Libya will begin. This is the beginning of many European cities that we plan to cover in the coming months.
Refugees are human beings, they have dreams, and hopes!

Dear politicians at the @EU_Commission if you play deaf I will come to your face such that I am seen and those in the wretches that you have created in Libya, Tunisia, Morocco and Algeria.
If you play blind then hear me out. If you are both, I will use other means

It’s the death knell to the right to asylum. Today, @Europarl_EN voted in favor of the pact on #MigrationEU. The reforms lock in a deadly, tried & failed system of detention & externalization w/ racial profiling & pushbacks. We'll continue to fight for human rights at the border!
ALT Quote by ECCHR Legal Advisor Hanaa Hakiki: "There is nothing to celebrate. We should be in mourning. The EU, MEPs and Member States already bear responsibility for the foreseeable humanitarian catastrophes which will worsen at our borders."

Tomorrow, @Europarl_EN will vote on the EU’s harmful New Pact on Migration & Asylum. With 161 civil society organizations we call on MEPs to #StopThisPact & stand up for human rights, dignity & the right to asylum. Do not put your names under this pact! 👉

Ngl I’m annoyed by everything being reduced to “pro-Palestine” or “anti-Israel.” This is not a team sport. I am pro-justice, anti-genocide. Pro-equality, anti-apartheid. Pro-indigenous rights, anti-colonisation. Pro-human rights, anti starving-children-to-death.

#OnThisDay 10 yrs ago: We remember the deadly pushback by Spanish Guardia Civil at the border between Morocco & the Spanish enclave of Ceuta at El #Tarajal beach. At least 15 died & many more injured. Investigations were archived, no one held responsible. ecchr.eu/en/press-release/sp…

Rubber bullets are unpredictable, potentially lethal & shouldn't be used against swimmers, says @SihamJessica from Spanish NGO, @centre_IRIDIA. Yet, on 6 Feb 2014 they were used by Guardia Civil against migrants in the water at El Tarajal #Ceuta. At least 15 died #10añosTarajal

“The impunity in the Tarajal case has given the Spanish state to understand they can violate bodies at borders without anything happening,” says @saniladan12 from Asociación Elín. As a migrant, #Tarajal is personal to him, it's about truth, resistance and dignity.
