“Greece’s asylum process not fair”

“Greece’s asylum process not fair”

Amnesty international has criticized a plan to return refugees from Greece to Turkey, saying it’s unsafe. The Amnesty international Netherlands director made the comments during a visit to Piraeus port, near Athens, where hundreds of refugees were being registered. Nazarski also criticized the quality of the asylum process in Greece on human rights grounds, saying it’s unfair. Facing a refugee crisis, the EU has made a deal with Turkey to prevent the flow of asylum seekers from the Middle East and North Africa into Europe. Thousands of refugees have been stranded in Greece as Macedonia has closed its border to prevent the entry of refugees. Macedonia’s move came after Balkan countries closed the refugee route and imposed restrictions on refugee entries.
