The @coe.int Committee of Ministers is set to examine on Thursday 17/9 whether the Greek authorities have taken sufficient measures to put an end to the unlawful practice of pushbacks and to ensure that pushback complaints are effectively investigated by the criminal justice system. (2/5)

This takes place one and a half years after the country's landmark conviction by the @echr.coe.int in the case of A.R.E. v. Greece. No substantive change has taken place in this period, as we point out in our latest submission to the Committee of Ministers, published today. (3/5)

Incidents of pushbacks continue to be systematically recorded without being properly investigated by the prosecution service, without perpetrators being punished, and without justice being served to the victims. (4/5)
