Particularities

After all deportees were brought on the ferry, an object looking exactly like a “body” covered in blankets (dead person or alive?) was brought from a police car onto the ferry.

The Greek Ombudsman was informed and sent a researcher to investigate the case.

One woman (from Congo) was brought back from the bus into the prison of the police station, because of intervention by a lawyer from the Greek Council for Refugees (GCR).
