Following accounts given by the survivors, why was a rescue operation not immediately started by the Turkish Coast Guard after it first arrived on scene at the GPS location?
We ask for that in order to respect the dignity of the victims/survivors but also to maintain dignity ourselves, so that we can create a community and society in which the privacy and dignity of all people are valued and respected.

Alarm Phone Press Release, 5th of August 2015 Distress at sea and endangered lives due to coastguard actions? Evidence shows attacks on migrant boats in the Aegean Sea where engines were removed and boats punctured by coastguards
🆘️ from 35 people who arrived on the island of #Farmakonisi, #Greece!
We are in contact with the group. They report that they have medical emergencies as well as elderly people among them. We informed local authorities that they need urgent medical assistance. Assist them now!
7 years late but good news for the 24 people acquitted in #Lesvos. However, a harmful legacy remains: the baseless charges succeeded in criminalising rescue missions in #Greece & there is ongoing criminalisation of boat drivers & people seeking safety.
🆘 Bateau en détresse en #WesternMed. Nous avons été alertés par un groupe qui a quitté #Tipasa, #Algérie, il y a 2 jours, en direction de l'#Espagne. Nous avons perdu contact avec eux et sommes inquiets. @Salvamentogob est alerté. Nous espérons qu'ils seront bientôt retrouvés!
