“We urge the Greek authorities once more to drop all of the charges and allow Sarah and Sean to go back to their lives. The criminalization of these brave human rights defenders solely for helping refugees and migrants in need shows Greece and Europe’s callous behaviour towards people seeking safety at their borders.”
- Nils Muižnieks, Director of Amnesty International’s European Regional Office

"The European Union often lectures the rest of the world on the “European values” of #humanrights and justice. But these amount to nothing if we aren’t willing to practice them".

Misdemeanor charges files filed against activists were declared invalid after the UN called for them to be dropped. But some are still facing further investigations on felony charges, including people trafficking."

Starting January 10th, 24 humanitarians are being tried in #Greece for saving lives, in what many call the largest case of criminalisation of solidarity with people on the move in the #EU . Amongst them are #SeanBinder , #NassosKarakitsos, and #SarahMardini .
We call on Greek prosecutors to request their acquittal. Saving lives is NOT a crime !!

#Greek prosecutors should request the acquittal of #humanitarians on trial for search-and-rescue efforts that are protected under international #humanrights law and Greek law, #HumanRightsWatch said today. The trial is set to begin on January 10, 2023. The case against #SarahMardini and #SeanBinder, effectively criminalizes life-saving humanitarian solidarity for people on the move and is riddled with procedural flaws.
