Returnwatch monitors risks that forced returnees from the European Union face upon arrival in Turkey. We are an initiative of volunteers and researchers who operate under the umbrella of the Post-Deportation Monitoring Network. This website aims to be an accessible and practical tool for people to reach us after having been forcibly returned to Turkey. We seek to connect returnees to Turkey with lawyers and human rights NGOs in Turkey, as well as to document the procedures implemented by Turkish authorities. Forced returns to Turkey are expected to start on the 4th of April from Greece and by the 1st of June 2016 from other European Union member states. To be able to hold policy makers in Europe and Turkey accountable, we need to know whether these returns can be qualified as collective expulsions, whether returnees have effective access to international protection on a case by case basis and whether refugees are safe from being sent back to countries where they are at risk of serious harm. Thank you for supporting our initiative by sharing this tools with refugees at risk of being deported to Turkey.

I and millions of other Afghans condemn closing the Greek-Balkan borders to Afghans seeking refuge in Europe. I worked as an independent volunteer in Lesvos, Greece a month and half ago. And I'm still struggling to make sense of everything I witnessed there. I witnessed the lowest point of what humans can do to their own kind. I witnessed desperation and anger. I also witnessed the highest point of humanity and kindness. And nonetheless, I witnessed hope and courage.

Bringing you the latest and up-to-date news from the Middle East. We go one step further, facilitating a better understanding of the issues facing the Middle East.
Global governments, and especially the European Union, have shown their worst side with the events of recent times. Economic Rescue is being exchanged for popular sovereignty. Neoliberal control, wage and pension cuts, tax increases, layoffs and all kinds of privatization. And governments, rather than give in to demands for democracy from citizens, use brutality to end their resistance.

We spend up to €600 per day on laundering the clothes that refugees have to discard when they arrive wet from their dangerous boat trip from Turkey.
This is the 'I Came By Boat' campaign - and it's going far in attempting to change the public consensus on refugees, by telling the stories of those who risked their lives to come on the country. The poster campaign, currently being run in Australia, shows the success stories of people who have made the treacherous journey from their homeland.
We're aiming to do reports that respond to refugee questions - on asylum, family reunification, fingerprinting, anything.
A new film by Reel News about the incredible work being done on Lesvos. This winter the refugee crisis will go into uncharted territory as tens of thousands will be stranded on Europe's borders in sub zero temperatures and crossing a stormy Aegean Sea in flimsy dinghies.
