Frontex is
een orgaan dat helpt bij het 'beschermen van de EU buitengrenzen'. Leden
van FRONTEX die samenwerken met de Griekse kustwacht helpen
deze kustwacht bij het terugsturen van boten met vluchtelingen naar
Turkije, waarbij men geweld gebruikt en de boten met ten einde raad
zijnde vluchtelingen terug duwt dan wel trekt richting Turkse
kust...... Een enorme schending van het VN Vluchtelingenverdrag en
bovendien een mensenrechtenschending van grote proporties..........
De directeur van FRONTEX is Fabrice Leggeri en deze fascistische ploert weigert elke verantwoordelijkheid voor misdragingen van zijn politionele organisatie die vooral in de Egeïsche Zee (ook Icarische Zee genoemd) duidelijk fascistoïde trekken vertoont........
Eén en ander terwijl onderzoek heeft uitgewezen dat deze Leggeri zelf op de hoogte was van misdragingen, maar deze onder het tapijt heeft geveegd........ WeMove Europe heeft dan ook een petitie opgesteld waarin van de Europese Commissie wordt gevraagd Legerri te ontslaan.
Lees en teken de petitie van WeMove Europe ajb en zegt het voort, de hoogste tijd dat de EU eindelijk eens een menselijk gezicht opzet als het gaat om vluchtelingen, die godbetert op de vlucht zijn geslagen voor de illegale oorlogen die het westen in hun thuisland uitvecht, een plek waar de VS en haar NAVO-partners niets maar dan ook helemaal niets te zoeken hebben!!!! (bovendien oorlogen die in de meer westelijke EU landen terreur kweekt op straat, maar wat wil je als je ziet dat het westen met illegale oorlogen (niets anders dan ongelofelijk grootschalige terreur) tekeer is gegaan en gaat in een aantal islamitische landen, waarbij sinds 2001 meer dan 2,5 miljoen mensen zijn omgkomen, of beter gezegd: zijn vermoord.....
Zero accountability

New evidence shows that the EU’s border control agency is involved in rights abuses. Its Director knew about the violations and lied to our elected representatives.
There’s a secretive and well-funded EU agency that’s trying to cover up illegal activity in the Aegean Sea. Leading it is a man who acts like he’s above the law.
That agency is FRONTEX, the EU’s border control agency. Its Director, Fabrice Leggeri, is personally implicated: he knew about the abuse and violations of human rights and lied to Parliament. [1] Just yesterday, he was grilled by MEPs again, but he’s refusing to accept any responsibility and is resisting calls to resign. [2]
Journalists have worked tirelessly to uncover the abuses. MEPs are calling for him to resign. [3] Even FRONTEX officials themselves are leaking details of violations! But the voices of outrage from citizens like us are missing. Will you join me in calling on Leggeri to resign?

The allegations are shocking: FRONTEX helped Greek border guards act like pirates. They attacked migrants in unstable boats, forcing them away from EU waters, to be left stranded at sea. The investigations show FRONTEX also witnessed numerous other violent incidents, and their officials (including Leggeri himself) tried to cover them up. [4]
They are denying responsibility, and refusing to acknowledge that FRONTEX took part in any illegal action. [2] And they actually think they can get away with it. But according to EU law, all people have the right to apply for asylum, and we’re fighting for that right together, as a community.
That’s why in September we submitted a 67-page legal complaint to the EU Commission asking that it act to end abuses and violence toward migrants. [5] Most of the evidence we submitted referred to the same types of human right abuses. The EU Commission acknowledged our complaint and assigned us a case handler. But now that it’s clear FRONTEX is directly involved, Leggeri has to go.
|
Even after Leggeri is gone, huge problems with FRONTEX will remain. It has always been a problematic organisation. It operates in a legal grey area with no way to hold it to account. Getting rid of Leggeri can only be a first step, but it’s a crucial one if we’re going to have any chance of abolishing FRONTEX at all.
When we decided to file our legal complaint to the EU Commission in September, we knew we’d be in this campaign for the long-haul, until the EU Commission acts to end abuses and violence toward migrants. Now that it’s clear that FRONTEX itself is contributing to these exact abuses, we have to face this challenge as well.
For humanity,
David (London), Giulio (Roma), Olga (Bologna), and the entire WeMove team
