Greece has forcibly expelled at least 250 asylum seekers since late March, according to a group that says authorities are using the pandemic as cover for abuses
Greek police, escalating their tough measures against migration, have been rounding up asylum seekers living in the country and forcibly expelling them to Turkey, according to accounts by migrants who have experienced this, lawyers and human-rights activists.
Nadeem Kohistani had been at a migrant camp in Greece for more than two months when, he says, Greek police handcuffed him, drove him more than 200 miles back to the Turkish border and forced the 18-year-old Afghan to get on a smuggler’s boat to cross the Evros River.
