EU border agency ‘has failed to protect asylum seekers’ rights’

Author of European parliament report says Frontex agency's director should resign or be sacked

The EU border agency has failed to protect the human rights of asylum seekers, according to a damning European parliament report on the organisation.

After a four-month investigation by MEPs the report's author, Tineke Strik, told the Guardian, that Frontex did not fulfil its human rights obligations and therefore did not address and therefore did not prevent future violations".
