YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThis journalist said Greek officials who abandoned 1,000 migrants in the sea are committing "crimes against humanity" adding that "it's attempted murder."
Maajid Nawaz was speaking to Oz Katerji, a freelance journalist focusing on conflict, human rights and the Middle East as he gave traction to a story coming from the Mediterranean which revealed Greek officials turned away 1,000 migrants into the sea.
Maajid wanted to know what happened to the people that were left in the sea, and Mr Katerji shared that many have found their way back to Turkey, although there are countless migrants that made the journey that are unaccounted for.
"What Greece has done here is a crime against humanity," he said, adding that "it's attempted murder."
Mr Katerji went on to tell Maajid that "this could be the tip of the iceberg," and despite this news story, there could have been other cases of officials turning migrants back into the sea.
Maajid noted there is debate raging in the UK over whether we should adopt the Australian attitude towards migrant crossings, and argued "if we did adopt that we'd be leaving people in the open sea."
