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
The people say they can't move & that they have a sick child with them. They want to claim asylum in #Greece and ask for immediate medical help. They fear a #pushback to #Türkiye. We have alerted authorities to the distress case.
Rescued! When 65 people alerted Alarm Phone to their distress in the central #Mediterranean, we alerted authorities and civil rescuers. As so often, it was the #civilfleet that reacted. Thank you @soshumanity_en!
From 4-8 August, up to 100 participants of the World Social Forum, incl. Alarm Phone, met in the migration village in #Cotonou. Composed mainly of activists from all over Africa, its transnational assembly published a manifesto for freedom of movement.
