WE CALL ON GREECE TO ACT AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR TRANSPORTING THE GRAVE OF THE 5-YEAR-OLD REFUGEE GIRL ON AN ISLET ON THE EVROS RIVER TO TURKEY UPON HER FAMILY'S REQUEST!
On August 15, 2022, Greece sent 38 refugees who were stranded on an islet on the Evros River while trying to immigrate to Europe, to the Evros Reception and Identification Center in Fylakio city. One of these refugees on the migration route, a 5-year-old girl, died on the islet. Greek Minister of Migration, Notis Mitarachi visited Fylakio on August 16, 2022, and stated that they will work with the International Organization of the Red Cross for the five-year-old girl on the islet to be buried with "dignity". However, although 7 days have passed, no action has been taken regarding the transport of the grave on the islet yet. We call on the Greek Ministry of Migration and the International Organization of the Red Cross to take action to find the burial place on the islet and complete the necessary transport procedures
