During the night, the operations center of the @hcoastguard told us that they cannot find the people. They should have been able to find and rescue them on such a small rocky islet! Did another illegal #pushback took place?

65 people incl. women & children stranded for 3 days on the rocky islet of Fragkos (Φράγκος) southwest of Leipsoi. It is unclear if they have food & water. We alerted the @HCoastGuard and hope that a rescue operation will be launched soon, and not another #pushback. #Refugeesgrpic.twitter.com/D2McS4PV0D

#Pushback feared! Where are they?! We have received information that@hcoastguard found the group on the islet. However, Coast Guard officers deny this on the phone. In similar situations in the past, this has been their strategy to cover up#pushback preparations.Show this thread -
Relatives told us that the people were brought to Leros, information also made public by Aegean Boat Report. Next day though, the relatives told us that the people were pushed back to Turkey by the Hellenic Coast Guard. The Turkish Coast Guard confirmed the rescue of 65 people...
