šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡³ 🚨 BREAKING: UNHCR declares Middle East crisis a ā€˜major humanitarian emergency’

āž”ļø UNHCR Director for Emergencies Ayaki Ito said the conflict is triggering significant population movements across the region and into Southwest Asia. Nearly 25 million people in the affected areas are already refugees, internally displaced or recent returnees, placing additional strain on fragile host countries.

Starmer: ā€œwork as one team.ā€ Mahmood: scapegoat migrants. This isn’t unity. This is a power grab using the most vulnerable as political ammo.

ICE-style raids on Britain’s streets: that’s all Labour’s brutal asylum reforms will achieve

If we want to ā€˜stop the boats’, we need to stop the BS when it comes to what creates refugees, and how to respond to them, says Labour MP Stella Creasy

Joint Statement: Tunisia is Not a Place of Safety for People Rescued at Sea

The ongoing human rights violations against People on the move in #Tunisia must stop.

The #EU and its member states are still collaborating with Tunisia on migration controls, which appear similar to the harmful deals made with #Libya. This is fueling human rights abuses. We cannot stand by as these violations of rights and dignity continue. Freedom of movement for all!

Joint Statement: Tunisia is Not a Place of Safety for People Rescued at Sea • Sea-Watch e.V.

In view of the rampant human rights violations against migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees in Tunisia, especially those who are Black; Tunisia’s lack of an asylum system; the Tunisian government’s crackdown on civil society, judicial independence, and the media; and the impossibility of fairly and individually determining nationalities or assessing the protection needs of migrants…

In a historic judgement after almost five years, the European Court of Human rights condemned Greece for inhuman and degrading treatment against seven unaccompanied minors who lived in the Samos hotspot in 2019/2020. The case was taken by the charity Still I Rise.

Still I Rise on Instagram: "Finally, after almost 5 years, the European Court of Human (ECtHR) rights condemned Greece for inhuman and degrading treatment against 7 unaccompanied minors (6 of them our former students) who lived in the Samos hotspot in 2019/2020! This is hopefully the first of other positive decisions: we still have more cases pending at the Court over the treatment of unaccompanied children in the Samos hotspot. The children, one of them as young as 14 years old, were forced to live in makeshift shelters in a camp that was overcrowded by more than ten times its official capacity. Despite being children, the authorities left them to fend for themselves in conditions described by the former European Commissioner for Human Rights as ā€œstruggle for survivalā€; bitten by rats, with moldy food and with limited access to showers and toilets. Due to limited capacity, we could only take some of these cases to court and follow up until today. Throughout the past five years, Still I Rise’s former students decided to continue their cases at the ECtHR because they wanted justice, and because they hoped that others would not have to go through what they had to endure. At least today, their pain and the abuses against them have been officially recognised by the ECtHR. Even though no decision or financial compensation can make up for what they, and thousands of others, had to go through, this is a huge victory for us and for everyone who resided in that hotspot: for the first time, the ECtHR recognised that all residents of the Samos hotspot, regardless of vulnerability, were subjected to inhumane and degrading treatment. P.s: A Special thank you goes out to the @ihaverights_ team and Philipp Schƶnberger, who have thoroughly followed up the cases at the ECtHR for all these years, making sure our students could get the justice they deserve. We couldn’t have done it without you! 🧔"

The other (non-white) refugees still suffering and dying at the European borders, every single day. If you #StandwithRefugees you stand and show solidarity with all refugees regardless of skin colour, religion, culture, otherwise you're an hypocrite. #balkanroute https://twitter.com/alarm_phone/status/1520134733602115585

ā€œFor 20 days, the group is trapped at the militarised Belarus Poland border. We don't know what else to do. We don't know what else we can say. Belarus and Poland actively hinder them from getting to safety. Are they simply left to die?ā€
