On 14 June, the fishing boat carrying irregular migrants capsized in international waters 47 nautical miles from Navarino on the Peloponnese, Greece, lost dozens, and more than 100 people were rescued and brought to Kalamata Port. Another bomb claim was made in the incident where the Greek Coast Guard teams were alleged to have neglected the immigrant boat. According to the claim of a survivor who did not want to be named, Greek Coast Guard crews tied ropes to the boat and pulled it left and right, causing it to capsize.
THE TRAGIC END WAS ACCELERATED BY GREEK TEAMS…
A survivor of the disaster, contacted by Reuters, said human smugglers from North Africa had crammed hundreds of migrants into a fishing boat. Expressing that the conditions on the boat were like hell, the immigrant said that there was no food and water on the boat.
According to the news of Reuters, six of the 9 statements given by the survivors to the Greek courts were claimed that the coast guard teams pulled the migrant boat, while a surviving Syrian said ‘Stop!’ he was said to have shouted to the coast guard teams.
According to testimonies, the migrant boat turned upside down after swaying left and right.
The testimony of these six people contradicts press releases from the Greek coastguard and government that said no attempt was made to tow the boat and that it overturned when the coastguard was about 70 meters away.
The Maritime Department, which oversees the coast guard, told Reuters it could not comment on the ongoing investigation by prosecutors.
RIGHT survivor MOHAMED TELLS THE MOMENT OF THE EVENT
A survivor of the disaster, who preferred to be named simply as Mohamed, told Reuters.
Claiming that at the time of the incident, the coast guard teams pulled the migrant boat quickly and capsized, the immigrant said, “It moved to the right, to the left, and then to the right again, and the boat capsized. People began to fall on top of each other. People were overlapping, shouting, people were drowning each other. It was night and There were waves. It was terrible.” said.
Contradictory EXPLANATIONS!
Just a day after the tragedy on June 15, a coastguard spokesman publicly denied that the coastguard vessel had ever tethered the boat, responding to reports in local media that cited some survivors saying the trawler had been towed.
A day later, the coast guard changed its statement and said that he had tied a rope to the immigrant boat to communicate.
The coast guard later denied trying to pull the trawler and said it kept its distance.
