Greece's Migration Minister has threatened whom he calls "illegal migrants" with "return, or prison". So who are these migrants? And how does @iom.int stand to benefit? @hopeamelie.bsky.social, @anasambri.bsky.social and @phesimeonid.bsky.social investigate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwvR...

How Bulgaria is quietly disposing of its Syrian refugees ✍️ @hopeamelie.bsky.social Supported by a grant from Investigative Journalism for Europe (IJ4EU)

If you really don't like videos, and would much rather read (and support) print journalism, check out the story we just published on this @newhumanitarian.bsky.social www.thenewhumanitarian.org/investigatio... cc @phesimeonid.bsky.social @hopeamelie.bsky.social

One year in the making, and it's finally here. An investigation with @hopeamelie.bsky.social that looks into a new inexpensive way Cypriot authorities have found to dispose of asylum seekers in the country. Coming up this Monday on @thenewarab.bsky.social: youtu.be/5_gs5pRsPvA

As the European Parliament's LIBE committee discusses its draft report on Frontex in Serbia on Thursday, we document 12 months of serious and escalating violence from Serbian authorities against people on the move.

"This fits into the broader pattern of Frontex and the European Commission’s behaviour: systematic rights violations are ignored—whether in the Aegean or Mediterranean seas, Bulgaria, Albania, Serbia or beyond—even when documented by the agency’s own internal mechanisms."

1/ New for @statewatch.bsky.social with @hopeamelie.bsky.social: A look at "Return Counselling" (RC), a new competency that the EU Border Agency quietly acquired in 2022, and how it is used to encourage "voluntary returns" from inside Bulgaria's detention centres www.statewatch.org/news/2025/de...

Very glad to have our analysis (with @hopeamelie.bsky.social ) published on @bordercrim.bsky.social - we got some very interesting feedback so far. Looking forward to comparing notes with more researchers - and to transparency from Europol (one can always hope!)
