More than 100 feared dead (so far 62 confirmed dead, including 12 children). Another tragedy that could have been spared with a change in border politics, and serious work for economic, social and climate justice.

⛔🇪🇺 "Das, was es zurzeit schon an systematischen Menschenrechtsverletzungen an den europäischen Grenzen gibt, .. all das, was bisher klar gegen #EU-Recht verstößt und trotzdem von der Europäischen Kommission und den Mitgliedstaaten beschwiegen wird, dieser ganze Alptraum soll nun ganz offiziell europäische Migrations- und Flüchtlingspolitik werden."

Map by #MSF (Médicins sans Frontières) on the rescue gap in the Central Med.

Abuses by the Libyan "Coast Guard" are well documented and Malta does not respond to distress calls, which means #migrant boats must make it to the Italian SAR zone before they have a chance of being rescued.

Staring down the barrel of an artificially intelligent gun.

From darknights.noblogs.org:

"It has been known for a while that many states around the world have been developing miltary hardware that are intergrating with artificial intelligence, from the North – South Korean border partolled by armed robots, to the US using auomated guns on many of its vehicles, drones seeing accelerated use in Ukraine, even the Syrian conflict seeing the use of AI enhanced guns.

This is one of the controlling aspects of the fourth industrial revolution, the actual use of these new technologies and sciences in weaponised form, given legitimacy by society with other uses that are supposedly to benefit us, but in the end will lead to their deadly affect, whether it is intergrating with our own bodies, eventually replacing us, making our living environment a hellscape of ecological destruction, a transformation into a smart prison planet, with us eventually staring down the barrel of an artifically intelligent gun.

As usual we do not want to just paint a picture of some dystopian nightmare future, we are clear that this is a dark present that is already arriving and that there is always a way to fight back. Those responsible for the development of the military and security technologies that are building the smart prison around us have names and addresses and they are far from impregnable.

It’s time to declare war on these Technocrats!

The Uncivilized"

15 people pushed back to Turkey
On the 15th of December, Alarm Phone received a call from 15 people stranded on Lipsi, a small island between Leros and Samos. They reported the situation to the Hellenic Coast Guard and Port Authority, but received no further news from the authorities. Remaining in contact with the group, they later d

Oh, nothing to see here, just the usual - people dead as a direct result of border policy. At least BBC ackowledges their humanity by admitting that they were, indeed, people (although aboard a previously unknown type of vessel, the «migrant boat»): «Four people dead after migrant boat started sinking» https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63968941 #MigrationEU #MigrationUK #Migrationspolitik #BordersAreViolence #BorderViolence

A dossier compiled by the Border Violence Monitoring Network finds migrants and asylum seekers are facing “an unprecedented rise in violence” at the EU’s border, including beatings, forced undressing and sexual assaults, and a growing attempt to criminalise and suppress activists helping people on the move.

Diese 105 Menschen werden wahrscheinlich in türkischen Gewässern auf Rettungsinseln ausgesetzt werden, misshandelt, ihrer Rechte beraubt illegal zurück gedrängt.
