Episode 9: Supporting refugees trapped at the Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria borders

In today's episode we speak with Natalie Gruber, the co-founder of Josoor, a solidarity network monitoring human rights abuses at the land borders between Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria, and supporting the migrants and refugees trapped there. She tells us how the organisation was founded, how it works with 'people on the move' to document human rights abuses carried out on them, and how the Greece government has tried to criminalise Josoor. Natalie also details some of the testimonies that the network has collected in the region and how the authorities have pushed thousands of people back to Turkey, which, despite the Greek government's claims, cannot be considered a safe place for refugees. --- Show notes --- For more on The Civil Fleet visit civilfleet.com You can find a glossary of the terms used in this episode here: bit.ly/3kGhkt0 For more on Josoor visit: josoor.net Or follow them on Twitter: @JosoorNet For more on the Black Book of Pushbacks, see: bit.ly/36N7SxM Get in touch: @FleetCivilfacebook.com/TheCivilFleet [email protected]
