Farmakonisi, another Mediterranean island whose waters are turning into a refugee cemetery. --- Amnesty International expresses its profound concerns over the loss of life of migrants and refugees including several small children near the island of Farmakonisi on 20 January 2014. The testimonies survivors provided to the UNHCR according to a press release issued by the organization, resemble the testimonies Amnesty International has previously collected on push-back operations of the Greek coastguard – the practice of summarily turning back a group of migrants across the border towards Turkey . We are urging the Greek Government to carry out a transparent and thorough investigation.
