Amnesty Journal Dezember 2015: Dranbleiben

“Für Tresor gleicht die Situation auf dem Mittelmeer einem “Krieg gegen die Flüchtlinge”. Was Lisa und ihre Kollegin in ihrer heutigen Schicht erlebten, scheint nicht weit davon entfernt. Eine Gruppe von Flüchtlingen berichtet, wie vermutlich Be­diens­tete der griechischen Küstenwache ihr Schlauchboot in ­türkische Gewässer zurückschleppten, Luftkammern zerstachen und den Motor wegnahmen. Dort blieben die 40 Menschen zunächst sich selbst überlassen, bevor die türkische Marine sie auf Initiative des Alarmtelefons rettete.”

🆘 ~100 people in distress in Greek waters off #Crete. The people are urgently calling for help and report that water is entering the boat. They fear to drown! We informed @HCoastGuard about their distress and urge them to launch an immediate rescue operation.

🆘 We were informed about a group of 62 people in distress on their way to #Crete. We informed @HCoastGuard who told us they «forwared the alert to the rescue boats». They refused to share additional details with us. We hope a rescue operation is ongoing.

🆘 We were in contact with a boat carrying between 50 and 70 people near the Greek island of #Crete. @HCoastGuard informed us that they located the boat and sent a vessel for rescue. We hope this is true and hope the people will be rescued soon!
