A powerful behind the scenes read @awon_program
On April 13th I got an email from a stranger, @FayadMulla
He was on Lesbos & had footage from 2 days prior showing migrants getting rounded up on land & ditched in the Aegean by the coast guard
Did I want to see it?
If you think the answer was an easy "yes," you're wrong.

There are many things the world can learn from local faith actors but often their work goes unrecognized by governments. Spiritual perspectives are crucial to effective response.

"Dieser Schritt stellt einen beunruhigenden Präzedenzfall in der Kriminalisierung von Migrant:innen dar, weil er für alle Familien gelten könnte, die in #Griechenland ankommen", sagt Anwalt @DimitrisChoulis vor dem morgigen Gerichtsverfahren. #Samos2
In 2015 when 2 year old Alan Kurdi drowned in the Aegean, there was a wave of global sympathy, in Nov 2020, when a 5 yr old drowned in a shipwreck off Samos, his father faces 10yrs in prison in Greece, charged with endangering his life. Trial is tomorrow. aljazeera.com/features/2022/…

That’s 100s if not 1000s of people who were denied the opportunity to apply for asylum in Europe, perhaps this will be celebrated by some hardliners as a “success” but the erosion of the rule of law never just happens in one area, it seeps into every level of society.
