FRONTEX activities on Mytilene, Greece
Attempt to take over „open“ PIPKA migrant centre, „closed“ detention centre set up
FRONTEX claim that families were not expelled from their rooms refuted
Earlier this month the EU’s border agency FRONTEX was accused by migrant support groups on the Greek island of Mytilene of expelling migrant families from rooms that they were occupying, in order to set up their own offices at the PIPKA „open“ migrant centre. FRONTEX subsequently disputed these claims, saying that the events described never took place. Now groups on the island have issued a statement disputing FRONTEX’s statements and describing in detail their version of events.
