Episode 4 - Refugee pushback: this is how Fortress Europe works

In today's episode we speak with Marie, an activist from the human rights monitoring ship Mare Liberum. She talks to us about the systematic human rights abuses the Greek, Turkish and EU authorities are carrying out on the people trapped in Greece's migrant camps and at sea. Marie tells us about the lengths the German government has gone to ensure the Marie Liberum cannot sail. We also hear about the time fascist groups on the Aegean islands tried to burn down the Marie Liberum while Marie and her fellow activists were on board --- Show notes --- If you like what the Civil Fleet is all about, you can find more on civilfleet.com Here's a glossary of some of the terms used in this episode: bit.ly/3kGhkt0 For more on Mare Liberum, visit: mare-liberum.org/en/ or find them on twitter on @teammareliberum You can read Mare Liberum's Pushback Report 2020 here: bit.ly/3e4ZFJy   Get in touch: twitter.com/FleetCivil facebook.com/TheCivilFleet [email protected]
