The BBC has reported that the Greek coastguard caused the deaths of dozens of migrants in the Mediterranean.
This happened over a three-year period, witnesses say, including nine who were deliberately thrown into the water.
BBC analysis found that more than 40 people alleged to have died.
UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Heather du Plessis-Allan “The Greek government has long been accused of ‘forced returns’- which is illegal under international law.”
Grey said “The European Union has had some 263,000 sea arrivals in the last year alone – with Greece receiving 41,000.”
