Summary
In the morning of Friday, November 13, 50 people called for help. When we established contact with them again, they had already been pushed back by Greek border guards. They were forced on a small islet on Evros river close to Edirne. They also reported the theft of their money and phones, and, in the now familiar pattern, they told us of beatings inflicted on them by Greek officers. Two people are reported missing from the group. We are still trying to find out what exactly happened to them.
