The Network for Children’s Rights, despite the transposition of current affairs from the refugees situation to the pandemia of Covid-19, continue to observe the recent developments at the country's borders.
With an open letter together with other 23 organisations is deeply concerned regarding the fortune of people who were residing in a military naval ship at the port of Mytilene and then being transferred in closed detention centers to the mainland.
Among the newcomers, there are families with children, and (according to all indications) unaccompanied minors for whom we have no information.
Please find the open letter attached in English.
