New evidence found by BBC News casts further doubt on the Greek coastguard’s version of events surrounding last month’s deadly migrant boat sinking, in which up to 600 people died.

Not sure why do you need to capitalize so much but this article doesn’t dispute if those were illegal migrants nor does it attribute blame.
It’s about how coast guard pressured victims to lie about cause of death of 600 people, including 100 children. This does not present coast guard in the best light though.
I’m from Greece, I know about the boat, not just the article. I’ve read about the situation. The boat is full of illegal immigrants who smugglers pushed inside for insane amounts of money probably.
It is not … the first … time that happens. It happens every single year. These are not “refugees” or whatever people might call them. They’re illegal immigrants that EU is empathetic enough to allow them to live here. edit: No, no. Empathetic is not the word. Just some countries that accept them for cheap labor. And then you have criminals who dont understand the EU culture robbing homes, smuggling themselves, being Shahid or Jihad who their own countries threw away. Because that’s how they grew up. That’s what they’ve learned. That’s they’ll do. And EU just accepts that for cheap labor, sorry I used the word “accept” again. Some EU countries exploit that … at a BIG cost … see France. Or Greek police statistics. Which Ive seen. Most criminals are foreigners. Literally foreigners. Without Greek citizenship. Obviously immigrants and most illegal ones.
It’s a very well known fact at that point in Europe that all illegal immigrants are smuggled from middle east or africa to Europe through small boats with TOO MANY passengers for insane amount of money just to get to Europe through Greece.
Just like it happens EVERY time. Either from Egypt, Turkey or one of those countries that have huge immigration pathways from other developing countries.
So, once again. Blaming the coastline for “not saving their lives” or anything above these lines or “lying” about it is ironic to the point of stupidity. Really.
