The Council of Europe has urged Greece to strengthen legal protections for migrants and adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards illegal deportations, following reports of summary returns. Commissioner Michael O’Flaherty expressed concern over these practices during his February visit, although he noted a decrease in allegations. Greece denies these claims, asserting compliance with international law. The government is tightening migration policies, extending detention for rejected asylum seekers. Frontex is investigating alleged human rights violations by Greece in handling illegal immigration.
