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)
