Weaponising geography on the Greek-Turkish border
This article was written by Josh Askew, a free-lance journalist based in Greece and the UK and reporter for the Border Violence Monitoring Network. It was published on the University of Oxford School of Law blog on 22 March 2021.
That Greece is illegally expelling migrants is well-known. Since 2016, the Border Violence Monitoring Network (BVMN), along with other human rights watchdogs, has documented how migrants are being systematically detained by the Greek police, transferred to the Turkish border and forced out of the European Union (EU).
These expulsions are known as pushbacks. Distinct from deportation, push backs are when individuals are expelled to other countries without formal procedures or safeguards. Needless to say, they are illegal. Beyond flouting the principle of non-refoulement – which guarantees that no one should be returned to a country where they face persecution – pushbacks preclude asylum.
Pushbacks involve a concerning degree of violence. Driven by the perverse logic of a flawed deterrence strategy, Greek authorities have beaten, tortured, sexually assaulted and killed migrants.

Not all solidarities are the same. Far too often, expressions of outrage at what is happening ‘over there’ act as cover to ignore, dismiss, or otherwise minimize the ritual violence that happens right here.
