• Two mass graves containing 49 bodies have been discovered in Libya.

An NGO has called on the Egyptian government to respect its international obligations and provide protection to people in need. On 28 January, Refugees Platform in Egypt (RPE) published a position statement in which it condemned the recent measures taken by the Egyptian security services against people on the move in the country. The measures, which include systematic arrests and detention, and deportation campaigns have been described as part of a “recurring pattern”. RPE also criticised the recently enacted asylum law for being “inconsistent with international obligations and violating international law as well as basic protection requirements” despite the government’s claim that it upholds refugee rights. RPE has urged the Egyptian authorities to establish a protective legal framework and to revise the asylum law so that it meets international standards. It has also called for transparent investigations into law enforcement violations, access for the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) to detention centres, humanitarian access to borders and an end to the criminalisation of refugee rights defenders.

Two mass graves containing 49 bodies have been discovered in Libya. 19 bodies were found in Jakharrah, south of Benghazi, while 30 more were discovered in the Alkufra desert in the southeast of the country. According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the second grave may contain up to 70 bodies and some of the bodies that have been exhumed so far have gunshot wounds. “The loss of these lives is yet another tragic reminder of the dangers faced by migrants embarking on perilous journeys,” said the head of the IOM’s mission in Libya, Nicoletta Giordano. He also called on the Libyan authorities “to ensure a dignified recovery, identification, and transfer of the remains of the deceased migrants, while notifying and assisting their families”.

The authors of a new report have accused the Tunisian authorities of being directly involved in the expulsion and sale of people on the move in the country to Libya. Based on 30 testimonies, the report by an international research group known as “Researchers X” reveals “the sale of human beings at the border by Tunisian police and military apparatuses” and “the interconnection between the infrastructure behind expulsions and the kidnapping industry in Libyan prisons”. Describing the activities of Libyan and Tunisian authorities as “state crimes” under international law, the report also reveals that the price for individuals “is based on the final value which the person being sold can generate through their ransom, the overall size of the group and its composition,” and that “women cost more, because in Libya women are considered sex objects”. At a press conference in the European Parliament to mark the launch of the report on 29 January, Ilaria Salis MEP said that the EU and Italy bore “enormous responsibilities” for human trafficking in the two North African countries, adding: “Libya and Tunisia work together to abuse migrants, to torture them using European funds”. Leoluca Orlando MEP demanded the suspension of the EU’s agreements with Libya and Tunisia, and said a copy of the report would be sent to European Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen and European Parliament President Roberta Metsola “so that they can no longer say they do not know”.

Morocco prevented 78,685 people from crossing into the EU in 2024. According to information provided by the Moroccan Ministry of the Interior on 6 February, this represented a 4.6% increase on the previous year and evidence of “growing migratory pressure in an unstable regional environment”. On the same day as the Ministry of the Interior shared its data with the Reuters news agency, NGOs marked the Global Day of CommemorAction to pay tribute to all of the people who have died or gone missing trying to reach Europe. The date represents the anniversary of the deaths of at least 15 people who were trying to cross the border between Morocco and the Spanish exclave of Ceuta in 2014. “On every 6 February, we come together to commemorate all those who have lost their lives or went missing when trying to cross borders and reach places of safety. We stand together, united in grief, denouncing the murderous European border regime,” the NGO Alarm Phone X posted.

• The Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights has called for accountability for human rights violations committed against people seeking asylum in Greece.
• The Greek Ombudsman has recommended disciplinary action for eight coastguard officers in relation to the Pylos shipwreck.
• A new NGO report has raised serious concerns about the current state of the rule of law in Greece.

• The European Court of Human Rights has granted a request for urgent action to address the living conditions in the Samos Closed Control Access Centre.

The Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights has called for accountability for human rights violations committed against people seeking asylum in Greece. Following a visit to the country in early February, Michael O’Flaherty encouraged the Greek authorities to take “resolute action” to ensure full criminal and disciplinary accountability for those responsible for the Pylos shipwreck. He also urged the Greek government to take a “zero-tolerance” approach to pushbacks following the recent ruling by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and urged it to hold those responsible for the practice to account. O’Flaherty also called for improved reception facilities on Rhodes and Crete to accommodate a “sharp increase in arrivals” and for the swift relocation of unaccompanied minors to the mainland. In addition to expressing concerns about the situation of people on the move in Greece, O’Flaherty also noted a “worsening environment” for legal professionals and organisations who support vulnerable people as well as for investigative journalists.

The Greek Ombudsman has recommended disciplinary action for eight coastguard officers in relation to the Pylos shipwreck. The Ombudsman’s investigation into the tragedy, which cost the lives of more than 600 people in June 2023, revealed “clear indications of culpability” of eight senior officers from the Hellenic Coast Guard. It also found that crucial evidence relating to the reported towing of the Adriana fishing vessel by a coastguard ship prior to the former capsizing had not been disclosed “despite repeated relevant requests”. Following the publication of the Ombudsman’s report, the Ministry of Shipping and Insular Policy issued a statement in which it strongly criticised the independent authority’s findings. A number of NGOs, including ECRE member organisations the Greek Council for Refugees (GCR) and Refugee Support Aegean (RSA), issued a joint joint statement on the report and the Ministry of Shipping and Insular Policy’s reaction to it. They described the Ombudsman’s efforts as the “the first credible and thorough investigation” by an independent Greek body into the Pylos shipwreck whilst denouncing the “impermissible judgments” included in the ministry’s statement as “direct interference in the operation of the institution of the Independent Authority and direct intervention in the judiciary”. They also called for transparency and access to all data related to the tragedy to be guaranteed. “Accountability for the shipwreck of Pylos and justice is the minimum vindication for the victims and is required for our democracy,” they concluded.

A new NGO report has raised serious concerns about the current state of the rule of law in Greece. The report, which was published by a group of organisations, including ECRE member organisations GCR, RSA and HIAS Greece, addresses, inter alia, the absence of accountability and attribution of responsibility to state officials, enforced disappearance and violence against people on the move, and intimidation of human rights defenders. The authors noted that more than 200 investigations into allegations of pushbacks and related human rights violations against people on the move have been undertaken in the past five years without a single prosecution against a public official having been launched. “Criminal investigations into allegations of severe human rights violations by officers of the Hellenic Police and Hellenic Coast Guard, namely killings, (attempted) pushbacks, ill-treatment and failure to rescue people in distress, are still marred by systemic deficiencies yet to be meaningfully addressed,” they wrote. In a press conference to mark the launch of the report on 4 February, Minos Mouzourakis from RSA criticised “the inability of the Greek judiciary to fulfill its duty and hold the state accountable for abuses and criminal offenses it commits”. Alexandros Constantinou from GCR described the importance of the recent ECtHR ruling for highlighting the “ineffectiveness of the Greek criminal justice in investigating cases of refoulement” while Elli Kriona-Sarantis from HIAS Greece denounced “the abusive criminalisation of migrants, human rights defenders and lawyers as smugglers”.

A court on the island of Levos has acquitted a Palestinian refugee who was on trial for people smuggling. The Legal Centre Lesvos, which represented the man referred to as ‘A.H.’, described the attempt to prosecute him as “emblematic of a broader pattern” of the criminalisation of people seeking asylum. The organisation also said that the trial had brought to light “egregious and systematic state violence” from the Hellenic Coast Guard. Witness statements read in the court in Mytilene had revealed that the coastguard had fired live ammunition at the boat and then rammed it, causing it to capsize, before severely beating those on board, particularly A.H. Commenting on the verdict on 6 February, A.H.’s lawyer, Vicky Aggelidou, said: “For the first time, the courts of Mytilene seemed to acknowledge the necropolitics of the Greek government, and the torture A.H. suffered during his arrest”. “Given the numerous cases where people were convicted without sufficient evidence, it is important that today’s court did not follow this precedent, and that A.H. has been acquitted,” she added. The court has referred the case to the Naval Court Prosecutor for investigation while A.H. has filed a complaint for racially motivated torture, serious bodily harm, breach of duty, and violations of his rights.

The ECtHR has granted a request for urgent action to address the living conditions in the Samos Closed Control Access Centre (CCAC). On 6 February, the legal aid organisation Human Rights Legal Project (HRLP) X posted that the ECtHR had granted its request for interim measures against the Greek government regarding the “horrific” living conditions in the so-called “Safe Zone” of the Samos CCAC where unaccompanied minors (UAMs) are detained. HRLP filed the request on behalf of four UAMs who have been detained in the CCAC for up to four months. It argued that their detention conditions amounted to “inhumane and degrading treatment” due to a lack of food, adequate clothing, proper bedding, sanitary conditions and access to medical and psychological care, as well as the “violent and abusive behaviour” of police officers working in the centre. As a result, the ECtHR ordered the Greek government to take “all appropriate measures” to ensure the UAMs’ protection. Despite celebrating the positive outcome for the four minors on whose behalf it had acted, HRLP also acknowledged that “more than 400 minors are currently detained in the same inhuman and degrading conditions”. “The ill-treatment that UAMs are subjected to in the Safe Zone of the Samos CCAC, exposes all of them to imminent risk of irreparable harm,” it wrote.

NATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS

The government is reportedly investigating the possibility of repurposing its controversial detention centres in Albania into repatriation centres. According to ANSA, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Minister of the Interior Matteo Piantedosi and Undersecretary of State Alfredo Mantovano discussed the issue following a cabinet meeting on 7 January. If the possible reclassification of the two centres were to go ahead, rather than housing people who had been picked up in international waters in the Mediterranean (as per the original objective of the Italy-Albania Protocol), they would be used to house people who were already in Italy and who were awaiting expulsion. Asked to comment on the possible transformation of the screening centre in Shëngjin and the detention centre in Gjadër into pre-repatriation detention centres (CPRs), Minister of Foreign Affairs Antonio Tajani said: “We shall see”. He did not explain how the use of the centres would be compatible with the provisions of the EU Return Directive. Leaving aside potential legal obstacles to the creation of CPRs in Albania, a more pressing issue could be the need to review the Italy-Albania Protocol, a process which may well be complicated by the Albanian government’s apparent opposition to it. “The agreement does not change,” said Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama.

The reported discussion about the possible repurposing of the centres in Albania took place exactly a week after the third failed transfer of people seeking asylum to them. On 31 January, a Rome court refused to validate the detention of 43 people who had passed through the Shëngjin centre on 28 January and had been transferred to the Gjadër centre. As a result of the court’s decision, on 6 February, the people were transferred to the Italian port of Bari where “almost half” of them had appealed against the rejection of their asylum requests by 10 February. Despite the latest court ruling against the transfer of people to the centres, the government appears to be determined to press ahead with the scheme, with the prime minister saying that she was willing to “spend every night” until the end of her term at the centres if necessary. Other politicians urged her to reconsider the whole operation. Complaining that the overall cost had “already exceeded € 1 billion”, the leader of the opposition Democratic Party (PD), Elly Schlein, said that the centres were a “clamorous failure” that “do not and will not work”. “The government’s refusal to comply with European laws and court rulings is leading to an extraordinary waste of taxpayer money,” she added. Elsewhere, Riccardo Magi from the opposition More Europe (+Eu) party described the Rome court’s decision as “confirmation that the detention centres in Albania operate in total illegality” while Green and Left Alliance (AVS) member of the European Parliament, Ilaria Salis, called the Italy-Albania Protocol an “inhumane and reckless political stunt”. “It’s time for Meloni’s government to face reality. This awful and, hopefully, unsuccessful plan is embarrassing Italy on the world stage” she wrote in an op-ed published in EUobserver.

The impacts of the government’s decision to release and deport a Libyan general who is subject to an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant continue to reverberate several weeks after the controversial incident took place. On 5 February, Carlo Nordio told parliament that Osama Almasri Najim, who faces various charges, including murder, rape and torture, linked to his role at the Mitiga Detention Centre in Tripoli, was released from custody on 21 January because errors in the ICC warrant mean that he could not be detained. Describing the ICC warrant as full of “inaccuracies, omissions, discrepancies and contradictory conclusions”, Nordio also criticised the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) and “a certain faction of the judiciary” for their respective roles in the incident. Minister of the Interior Matteo Piantedosi said that the decision to deport Najim following his release from custody had been made due to “the high level of danger posed by the individual” and the “need to ensure national security and maintain public order”.

On 10 February, the ICC opened an investigation into the events surrounding the deportation. “The matter of state’s non-compliance with a request of cooperation for arrest and surrender by the court is before the competent chamber,” said an ICC spokesperson. In addition to the ICC’s demand for an explanation into the Italian government’s actions, several of Najim’s alleged victims have filed their own complaints with the ICC. Omer Shatz from the NGO front-LEX, who has filed a complaint on behalf of a South Sudanese refugee called Lam Magok Biel Ruei, has claimed that the deportation was facilitated to “hide the complicity of the Italian State and the EU in the crimes committed in Libya and the Mediterranean against migrants”. “They extradited Almasri because he is their counterpart, he is their partner in a criminal enterprise – stemming migration at all cost – and this is the cost,” he added.

Most recently, following days of criticism of the ICC from government figures, the Ministry of Justice has reportedly “informally requested consultations with the ICC to address the legal and procedural issues surrounding the case, with the aim of preventing similar incidents in the future”.

Mobile phones belonging to refugee rights activists and other critics of the Italian government have been targeted with spyware. On 3 February, the Guardian newspaper reported that Husam El Gomati, a Sweden-based Libyan activist who has reported on links between the Italian government and the Libyan coastguard, had been alerted by WhatsApp that his phone had been affected. WhatsApp said it had discovered in December 2024 that mobile phones belonging to 90 people in more than 20 countries had been hacked by spyware made by Paragon Solutions. Two days after the news about Husam El Gomati was published, it was revealed that the founder of the search and rescue NGO Mediterraneanea Saving Humans, Luca Casarini, had also received the same message. Most recently, the head of the NGO Refugees in Libya, David Yambio, confirmed that his phone had also been targeted but that he was not one of the 90 people who had been contacted by WhatsApp. Meanwhile, Paragon Solutions has reportedly “cut access to its clients in Italy” following the recent revelations. The “clients” in Italy, where at least seven phones have been targeted may include “an intelligence agency and a law enforcement agency”. The prime minister’s office has denied any involvement and asked Italy’s National Cybersecurity Agency (ACN) to look into the matter.
