Greece has been warned by the European human rights watchdog to strengthen legal safeguards at its borders.
The watchdog called for a ‘zero-tolerance approach to summary returns’ amid reports of illegal deportations of migrants.
This warning comes as Greece continues to face criticism for its treatment of migrants and refugees.
The European Court of Human Rights has previously ruled against Greece for violating the rights of migrants.
Greece has denied any wrongdoing and defended its actions as necessary for border security.
The European Union has also expressed concerns over the treatment of migrants at Greece’s borders.
Human rights organizations have called on Greece to uphold its obligations under international law.
The Greek government has promised to investigate any allegations of abuse or mistreatment of migrants.
It remains to be seen how Greece will respond to the European human rights watchdog’s warning.
