Poland accepted hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians since 2014, Europe accepted hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Croatians and Bosnians during the 90s
There was a load share back then, in here we are speaking about 5 millions and people and more, how about then? Would you care to provide numbers?
People beaten, tents burned, humans driven like cattle towards Europe....and somehow the EU should just take it....
Such a misleading title, have you read the news?
It is shown as if the tent was burnt by officials, however it was reported several times the refugees themselves got into fights and burn their tents or camps too.
The investigation has shown how, after leaving the quarantine camps, some people ended up on the streets of Izmir. Others, including children, were put into a detention facility in Ankara. Some of the Syrians have been threatened with deportation to “safe zones” in northern Syria. These people are what remains of Turkey’s “leverage” over the EU. Their stories are just a handful of those who risked and lost much at the European border in March.
After Rima watched her tent burn she was taken to a quarantine camp in Malatya. She estimates that she was one of about 2,300 people bussed more than 1,000km (620 miles) away from the border on the eastern side of Turkey. They had no choice but to go, she says: “[Turkish forces] threatened us with weapons.”
Rima says that there was minimal food provision and medical care in Malatya. They were finally released from quarantine on 16 April and dropped off in the north-eastern Trabzon province. A group of 50, including Rima, who had no money for onward travel were then picked up by local authorities and taken to a detention facility in Ankara 800km away.
So this is actually telling about a covid quarantine beacause of an outbreak at their camps in pazarkule, which they have came "willingly" they dramatize it, should they let to be free despite of the covid risk?
“It’s your president who announced to us that the borders are open, your president! You encouraged us to leave, you were telling us to push on the Greek gate and that it won’t open without pressure,” Rima shouted through the locked door of her room.
So she willingly left konya, where she resides, going to the edirne with her own will to pass border, again not enforced, at covid outbreakshe is taken back to malatya.
Contradictory right, it was telling her tent was burnt as if she was residing in a refugee camp ,but then here it tells she has lost her house because of missing a rent?
One of the perfect disinformation too, it is not telling about status about of refugees but telling refugees who were willingly been to pazarkule to cross the border, when taken back to malatya for covid quarantine they have often resisted not to stay in quarantine.
So she is crying about Turkish Government had to quarantine her because of a covid outbreak in pazarkule kamp.
Ömer Faruk Gergerlioğlu, an MP from the People’s Democratic Party and a member of the Human Rights Commission in Turkey, told the Guardian that refugees at Pazarkule had been used as political pawns."
From this point on the MP who talks is from kurdish party and his words are mainly nonsense but just to criticize, he refrains from telling those refugees have been to edirne by their own will, not force.
This website is cool, which your link of guardian is also takes as a reference in first half, which is telling about quarantine of refugees, not beating or enforcing them to go Greece border,but actually forcing them to leave the camp Greece border to control covid outbreak.
There are 3 chapters about pushbacks of refugees. However they don't seem to, or maybe hesitate to going in depth with interviews because it is linked to EU. Story of a refugee who is taken into a quarantine takes about 3 pages, but refugees pushed back or disabled at sea is mentioned within a single page,

"The pushback campaign organised by Greece has been denounced by MEPs, human rights groups and international law experts. Frontex is “complicit and violating international laws” when it fails to intervene to prevent pushbacks, says international law expert, Dana Schmalz to
ARD. Frontex is obliged to rescue asylum seekers whenever they see a boat in distress."
"Frontex is obliged to rescue if pushback fails or boat is in distress"
However, Turkish coast guard has rescued boats in distress several times which was reported by refugees on boat that the boat was put on distress intentionally bu frontex, poking holes, taking their engine away leaving them adrift.
Wonder why the lighthousereports couldn't set up interview with people pushed back or put at danger by frontex to further dramatize it like the story of the refugee in guardian though.*
I don't like biased "interviewers" when they hesitate to go in depth against countries funding them.
They are not actually biased too, they just rather prefer not to disclose it:
We obtained video evidence of Frontex involvement in European and international law violations and gathered and analysed data of Frontex complicity in illegal operations by Greek counterparts.
The data was the evidence that we used to prove what migrants and witnesses on the Greek islands were telling us during field reporting: That Europe’s border agency was fully aware of, and involved in illegal pushbacks.
*So this is like, they have all of it , including interviews, but they don't want to dramatize it like the one in guardian link.
