At least 12 dead in the #AegeanSea
The Greek and Turkish coastguards share the responsibility.

On Monday morning, first the Turkish, later the Greek coastguard spotted a speedboat carrying people on the move and chased it. The speedboat capsized. Six people died.

Later, a second boat was found and chased by the Greek coastguard. It collided with the coastguard vessel. Another six people, including a baby, died.

This is not the first time the coastguard has escalated the situation and caused deaths. In February this year, there was already a collision in which 15 people died and 24 were injured, some seriously.

We demand an immediate investigation into the circumstances of the accident!
The #EU, #Greece and #Turkey must admit their responsibility.

We need safe escape routes immediately!
