Greek island are being emptied in preparation to mass deportations to Turkey‏

From volunteers in Lesvos: 

Saturday 19-03-16 The new EU agreement is taking effect in a major way, all camps have started to be emptied by bus loads. Evacuations will continue all night. Refugees are being made to buy a ticket and have been on this boat since 11 am untill 01.00pm. Cash is needed at the port to buy tickets for families now standing outside since this morning. No agencies handling this and they cannot enter the "mandatory boat " without paying. Go figure that. Some with no money for food once on the boat. Sandwich(bun of bread) cost €7.
It seems the plan is to have all camps emptied by tomorrow. All Greek island camps are being evicted. Volunteers are bearing witness in the port, distributing quick lunch packs and warm clothes before the refugees board and keeping an eye on the situation. We are all in a state of deep shock at the immediacy and severity of the implementation






Migrant boats attacked by Turkish coast guard or paramilitary militias (several recorded incidents)








It did not start with gas chambers, it started with politicians dividing people in 'us' versus 'them', it started with intolerance and hate speech and when people stopped caring, began desensitized and turned a blind eye.
