“We urge the Greek authorities once more to drop all of the charges and allow Sarah and Sean to go back to their lives. The criminalization of these brave human rights defenders solely for helping refugees and migrants in need shows Greece and Europe’s callous behaviour towards people seeking safety at their borders.”

- Nils Muižnieks, Director of Amnesty International’s European Regional Office

#SarahMardini was treated shamefully in Greece.
There is something very wrong when a rescue swimmer is being persecuted with criminal charges in an #EU democracy for trying to save the lives of refugees.
The so called cradle of democracy ...

Greece drops misdemeanor charges against migrant rescuers

Misdemeanor charges files filed against activists were declared invalid after the UN called for them to be dropped. But some are still facing further investigations on felony charges, including people trafficking.

"This case has proved to be so full of barefaced political motivations intended at shutting down all search and rescue operations on the EU’s borders, that political leadership must make its voice heard. We should be rewarding humanitarians for living up to the EU’s proclaimed values, and yet here we are threatening them with 25 years in prison.”

Grace O'Sullivan,
Irish Green Party MEP.

"We are talking about young volunteers who should be applauded for saving lives of refugees in distress."

“Instead, they are faced with these farcical charges whose sole intent is to keep them away from Greece’s shores while authorities conduct pushbacks.”

Giorgos Kosmopoulos,
