Greece jailed “Pylos 9” despite knowing they were innocent as Egypt prosecuted the real smugglers

While this kind of deals are criticised for their dehumanising effects, they seem to be gaining traction with many western governments that prefer to make headlines than to protect human rights.
🛑The implementation of the Italy-Albania protocol results in blatant violations of medical ethics and human rights, with the involvement of health care institutions in deportations to Albania, making them complicit in a discriminatory and degrading system.
