Joint statement by Legal Centre Lesvos, borderline-europe, Can’t Evict Solidarity and Aegean Migrant Solidarity
We pray for all those who are lost, and for all those who are preparing to begin their journey to a better future
Joint statement by borderline-europe, Can’t Evict Solidarity, CopWatchGR and CPT – Aegean Migrant Solidarity
Pray that migrants may safely make their journeys towards a better life and that governments will choose to guarantee the human right to movement.
Even after years on the Greek Islands, migrants are still at risk of state violence and criminalization.
Just as we commemorate the centennial of the Greco-Turkish War this year, we must hold onto the memories of migration over the past several years in Lesvos.
The Greek islands often conjure up visions of crystal clear waters and balconies overflowing with flowers, but violence against migrants continues despite the government’s attempt to cover it up.
Pray for our CPT communities around the world as we meet virtually and physically to continue the work of liberation.
On 22 June 2022, a 27-year-old woman who, in desperation, attempted to self-immolate in the notorious Moria 2 camp on the Greek island of Lesvos, now faces trial for arson.
