Amnesty International is publishing today its findings from a research trip to Tijuana, Mexico, on 3-9 February 2025, documenting the human rights impacts of changes to US migration and asylum policies since President Trump took office on 20 January 2025

The Greek Ombudsman published a damning report into the actions of the Greek coastguard during the shipwreck in Pylos.
@amnesty.org welcomes these crucial findings.
Greece must take them into account in their investigations into the incident & finally open disciplinary investigations🧵
For years, Greece has denied the existence of this practice. Today’s @ECHR_CEDH
ruling is first step in achieving justice for all people subjected to summary, often violent, returns at the EU's borders.
In 2021, @amnesty.org concluded that pushbacks were Greece's de facto border policy. Survivors' stories indicated that they were subsequently subjected to further violations, as their right to an individual assessment or the possibility to challenge their return were not granted.
The Court found that the applicant’s summary return to Türkiye, “without any prior assessment of the risks she faced […] and therefore of her application for international protection” violated her rights. The court also found the Greek authorities’ investigation was ineffective.
In a landmark ruling, @ECHR_CEDH concludes that there is “serious evidence suggesting” a practice of systematic #pushbacks by the #Greek authorities from Evros region to #Türkiye, something that @amnesty and other NGOs have been saying for years.

Until further notice, Germany puts on hold all asylum applications of Syrian nationals. www.reuters.com/world/europe...
The situation in Syria following the ousting of President Bashar al-Assad is still unclear. Hasty decisions or changes in practice with respect to refugee status and pending processes for asylum or other forms of protection should be avoided.
Governments must do everything in their power to stop Israeli authorities' genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. They must halt all arms transfers or risk becoming complicit in genocide. Amnesty concludes Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
