“Our choice is not between war and peace but between life with dignity or without.”
Subcomandante Marcos, EZLN

Many words have been written about the deal of 9 October. Yet, this agreement is not an end but a fragile pause in a cycle of suffering that has lasted decades.

Η νέα Μελέτη Περιβαλλοντικών Επιπτώσεων (ΜΠΕ) για τη δομή κράτησης στη Βάστρια Λέσβου τέθηκε σε διαβούλευση, ενώ το έργο κατασκευής πλησιάζει στην ολοκλήρωση.
Το Υπουργείο Μετανάστευσης & Ασύλου επαναφέρει τροποποιημένη την παλιά μελέτη που είχε, χωρίς επίλυση των προβλημάτων αλλά με προσθήκη νέων.

More than 200 organisations have called on the European Parliament to reject new deportation rules. The proposal would expand detention, lower safeguards, and accelerate deportations, with devastating consequences for people seeking protection.

Η Ελλάδα εφαρμόζει συστήματα επιτήρησης με Τεχνητή Νοημοσύνη στα σύνορα και στα στρατόπεδα προσφύγων. Χρηματοδοτούνται από την ΕΕ, αλλά προκαλούν σοβαρές ανησυχίες για τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα. Διεθνής έρευνα αποκαλύπτει την έκταση της τεχνολογικής επιτήρησης.

More than 600 people drowned off Pylos due to the direct actions and negligence of the HGC, in one of the deadliest shipwrecks in the Mediterranean. Frontex, instead of ensuring a life-saving operation, failed to issue a mayday, withdrew its assets, and enabled the Greek authorities’ deadly tactics

Modern border tech threatens migrant rights!

AI surveillance, digital IDs & automated decisions control, track & exclude—rather than protect.

Join us in Lesvos (June 9-15, 2025) to explore how tech impacts People on the Move & how we can resist.
