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
With many boats en route to #Crete it is difficult to identify the groups that have arrived. We have confirmation from @HCoastGuard who told us that all five boats we alerted them to were rescued & that there are no more ongoing operations.
🆘️ from 2 people in need of assistance in the area of #Symi. They told us that they got separated from a bigger group after arriving on the island. We informed the local authorities. They are both elderly & need medical assistance. Assist them & find the rest of the group now!
🆘 ~40 people in distress in the central #Mediterranean!
We are in contact with a group that requires assistance urgently! They say that they've been at sea for 3 days already, after escaping from #Libya. Authorities are informed, rescue without further delay!!
