@borderforensics.bsky.socialLe collectif @borderforensics.bsky.social s'est penché sur la Manche et montre que, sous la pression du Royaume-Uni, les pratiques policières à la frontières plutôt que de protéger les migrant·es tentant la traversée, rendaient ces traversées au contraire bien plus dangereuses.
Show PostThe report demonstrates how the UK government’s ‘Stop the Boats’ policies, and over £625m given to the French to prevent departures, have directly contributed to a sharp rise in deaths of people attempting to cross the Channel in so-called small boats.
Show Post„Malta has instituted a catalogue of failures in its handling of the case“ the statement says. „It is unconscionable that the #ElHiblu3, who survived abuse in Libya, a shipwreck & an attempted unlawful return, now face […] life imprisonment simply for asserting their rights to prevent further harm.
Show Post„No one should be punished for seeking protection“ writes @amnesty.org Seven years ago, right now, the oil tanker #ElHiblu1 was underway to #Malta. On board, 100 survivors who had escaped from Libya on a rubber boat the night before. Today, three of those - the #ElHiblu3 - still face charges.
Show PostFrom 2019 to 2023, there were 68 dead and missing from 21 fatal incidents in the Channel. Between August 2023 and January 2026, 129 people died or went missing in 48 incidents. At the same time the numbers of boats and people crossing fell. See @hollybancroft.bsky.social's article here 👉
