Prakken d’Oliveira Human Rights Lawyers has lodged the first legal action for damages on behalf of the family against Frontex at the European Court of Justice in Luxemburg. Our goal is to attain redress for the family that has suffered greatly by the illegal push back and to hold Frontex to account for its own actions. It is no longer acceptable that Frontex, equipped with an ever wider mandate and a bigger budget, deems itself above the law.

Hosted by KQED Criminal Justice reporter Sukey Lewis, On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they’ve sworn to serve? As a human being, a European citizen and a European taxpayer, I call on you to end these human rights violations at our borders. If the European Union stands for ‘a community of values’, it must guarantee basic human rights and the rule of law on its own territory.

The anonymous, main plaintiff of the first legal action for damages against Frontex before the Court of Justice of the European Union. Our guest represents a family who was pushed back at the EU border in Greece and is now holding Frontex to account for its actions. With the support of an interpreter, we give voice to his family. In addition to a running division, all distances offer a rucking division. Rucking is walking with a weighted pack/ruck on your back.
Asylum seekers and refugees are denied safety, caused by illegal pushbacks. They are deprived of their human right to apply for asylum, actively endangering their lives. In October 2016 a Syrian family was returned from Greece to Turkey on a flight operated by Frontex and Greece. Thereby, the fundamental rights of the family were violated.
