A European Union report claims the bloc's border and Coast Guard agency failed to protect the human rights of asylum seekers trying to enter its jurisdiction.
Analysis of the activities of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, or Frontex, was released on Thursday after a four-month investigation led by eight members of the European Parliament known collectively as the Frontex Scrutiny Working Group.
Tineke Strik, the report's lead author, told The Guardian that the cross-party working group found that Frontex "did not fulfill its human rights obligations and therefore did not address, and therefore did not prevent, future violations".
