Revealed: Greek police coerce asylum seekers into pushing fellow migrants back to Turkey

Six forcibly recruited men speak out about brutal illegal pushbacks involving threats, beating and looting

In a militarised border zone, in the dead of night, asylum seekers say they have been coerced into violent, illegal pushback operations run by Greek police.

Kept locked up between operations, the asylum seekers claim they were forcibly recruited or lured there by a Syrian man living in a container in the yard of a Greek police station, and then used as boatmen to ferry other migrants back to Turkey.
