European court rules against Greece over migrant's illegal deportation, calls practice 'systematic'
- The European Court of Human Rights, in a landmark ruling Tuesday, found that Greece had illegally deported a woman back to neighboring Turkey and described the use of summary expulsions or "pushbacks" as systematic.
The European Court of Human Rights has ruled against Greece for the illegal deportation of a Syrian migrant, criticizing the country's practice as "systematic." The case involved a Syrian national who was apprehended by Greek authorities in 2016 and subsequently deported to Turkey without due process, despite his asylum application. The court found that Greece violated several articles of the European Convention on Human Rights, including the right to an effective remedy, the prohibition of collective expulsion of aliens, and the right to liberty and security. This ruling highlights ongoing issues with Greece's handling of migrants, particularly the pushback operations at its borders, which have been criticized by human rights organizations. The court's decision underscores the need for Greece to reform its migration policies to ensure they comply with international human rights standards.
