Rescue grup supporters and refugees
held a demonstration in central
Athens to highlight
what they call the increasing
criminalisation
of sea rescues and the anti-migration
policies
of some UE countries.
Some of the protesters lay down
in front of banners
that read WOULD YOU SAFE US?
to bring attention to the problem
of the thousands
of people who died each year
trying to reach Europe.
The predominant color was orange,
the reference to
the lifejackets usually worn by
migrants picked up in the
Mediterranean.
The rally in Athens was just one
event in the series across Europe
organised by the International Movement X
that translates as Sea Bridge.
The movement is calling the
stablishment of safe routes
for refugees, safe harbors, an end
to the criminalisation of
sea rescues and humane conditions
for refugees upon arrival
Some also called for the release
of prominent X refugee
Sara Mardini, and the Irish
volunteer Sean X
currently in Greek custody for X
faciliting refugees and
migrants into Greece
