He soon found out his nephew, who The Daily Beast is calling Adam, was one of six young Afghans, including two minors, who had been charged with setting Moria ablaze and leaving up to 13,000 migrants homeless and without possessions in the midst of a global pandemic. Known as the “the worst refugee camp on Earth,” the crowded Moria facility was completely demolished within two days after a series of fires which began on Sept. 8 broke out in separate areas of the camp.

Greece faces court over violent expulsion of migrants

GREECE is being taken to the European Court of Human Rights for its massive “pushback” operation, in which more than 180 migrants were expelled to Turkey last year. Rights campaigners said today that the Legal Centre Lesbos (LCL) has filed the complaint with the court after the “violent expulsion” that took place over two days in October. The centre is representing 11 Syrian nationals who were part of a group of between 180 and 200 people, including 40 children, forced back to sea to make a hazardous crossing to Turkey. According to the LCL, the group had been on board a fishing boat, aiming to seek asylum in Italy, when they fell into distress at sea off Crete on the morning of October 20.
