Frontex directeur was op de hoogte van zware schending VN Vluchtelingenverdrag maar weigert elke verantwoordelijkheid te nemen en op te stappen

Frontex is
een orgaan dat helpt bij het ‘beschermen van de EU buitengrenzen’.
Leden
van FRONTEX die samenwerken met de Griekse kustwacht helpen
deze kustwacht bij het terugsturen van boten met vluchtelingen naar
Turkije, waarbij men geweld gebruikt en de boten met ten einde raad
zijnde vluchtelingen terug duwt dan wel trekt richting Turkse
kust…… Een enorme schending van het VN Vluchtelingenverdrag en
bovendien een mensenrechtenschending van grote proporties……….

De
directeur van FRONTEX is Fabrice Leggeri en deze
fascistische ploert weigert elke verantwoordelijkheid voor
misdragingen van zijn politionele organisatie die vooral in de
Egeïsche Zee (ook
Icarische Zee genoemd) duidelijk fascistoïde trekken vertoont……..

Eén en ander terwijl onderzoek heeft uitgewezen dat deze Leggeri zelf op de hoogte was van misdragingen, maar deze onder het tapijt heeft geveegd…….. WeMove Europe heeft dan ook een petitie opgesteld waarin van de Europese Commissie wordt gevraagd Legerri te ontslaan.

Lees en teken de petitie van WeMove Europe ajb en zegt het voort, de hoogste
tijd dat de EU eindelijk eens een menselijk gezicht opzet als het
gaat om vluchtelingen, die godbetert op de vlucht zijn geslagen voor
de illegale oorlogen die het westen in hun thuisland uitvecht, een
plek waar de VS en haar NAVO-partners niets maar dan ook helemaal
niets te zoeken hebben!!!! (bovendien oorlogen die in de meer
westelijke EU landen terreur kweekt op straat, maar wat wil je als je
ziet dat het westen met illegale oorlogen (niets anders dan ongelofelijk grootschalige terreur) tekeer
is gegaan en gaat in een aantal islamitische landen, waarbij sinds 2001 meer dan 2,5 miljoen mensen zijn omgkomen, of beter gezegd: zijn vermoord…..

Zero
accountability

New evidence shows that the EU’s border control agency is involved in rights abuses. Its Director knew about the violations and lied to our elected representatives.

Demand HIS Resignation

There’s a
secretive and well-funded EU agency that’s trying to cover up
illegal activity in the Aegean Sea. Leading it is a man who acts like
he’s above the law.

That agency is
FRONTEX, the EU’s border control agency.
Its Director, Fabrice
Leggeri, is personally implicated: he knew about the abuse and
violations of human rights and lied to Parliament. [1] Just
yesterday, he was grilled by MEPs again, but he’s refusing to
accept any responsibility and is resisting calls to resign. [2]

Journalists have
worked tirelessly to uncover the abuses. MEPs are calling for him to
resign. [3] Even FRONTEX officials themselves are leaking details of
violations! But the voices of outrage from citizens like us are
missing. Will you join me in calling on Leggeri to resign?

Ask Leggeri for his resignation now!

The
allegations are shocking:
FRONTEX helped Greek border guards act
like pirates. They attacked migrants in unstable boats, forcing them
away from EU waters, to be left stranded at sea. The
investigations show FRONTEX also witnessed numerous other violent
incidents, and their officials (including Leggeri himself) tried to
cover them up.

They are denying
responsibility, and refusing to acknowledge that FRONTEX took part in
any illegal action.
[2] And they actually think they can get away
with it. But according to EU law, all people have the right to apply
for asylum, and we’re fighting for that right together, as a
community.

That’s why in
September we submitted a 67-page legal complaint to the EU Commission
asking that it act to end abuses and violence toward migrants.

[5] Most of the evidence we submitted referred to the same types of
human right abuses. The EU Commission acknowledged our complaint and
assigned us a case handler. But now that it’s clear FRONTEX is
directly involved, Leggeri has to go.

Ask Leggeri for his resignation now!

Even after Leggeri
is gone, huge problems with FRONTEX will remain.
It has always
been a problematic organisation. It operates in a legal grey area
with no way to hold it to account. Getting rid of Leggeri can only be
a first step, but it’s a crucial one if we’re going to have any
chance of abolishing FRONTEX at all.

When we decided to
file our legal complaint to the EU Commission in September, we knew
we’d be in this campaign for the long-haul,
until the EU
Commission acts to end abuses and violence toward migrants. Now that
it’s clear that FRONTEX itself is contributing to these exact
abuses, we have to face this challenge as well.

As
a first step, please join me in asking for the resignation of Fabrice
Leggeri, Director of FRONTEX.

For humanity,

David (London), Giulio
(Roma), Olga (Bologna), and the entire WeMove team

We submitted the legal complaint to the European Commission together
with Oxfam, also with the support of Human Rights Watch. Donations
from this community allowed us to conduct over 350 hours of
specialist research to gather enough evidence to make a strong legal
case. It was widely covered in the media:
