Summary of the Case: On the 22nd of July 2022 the Alarm Phone shift team was alerted to two boats with 32 people who were close to Rhodes. There was a high tide, and the travellers requested that Alarm Phone urgently alert the Turkish Coast Guard (TCG). An email alert was sent. Alarm Phone later received confirmation that all the travellers were brought back to Turkey, and both the travellers and the TCG reported that the boats had been pushed back into Turkish waters to the coast of Muğla by the Hellenic Coast Guard (HCG).
One of the survivors texted us later:
“Everything that is bad happened to us from the Greek guards of water. In their hearts there is not an iota of mercy.“
