Danish boat in Aegean refused order to push back rescued migrants
The crew had been ordered to tow a dinghy out of Greek waters, officials said.
A Danish patrol boat monitoring the Aegean sea refused an order to push back migrants they rescued, Danish officials told public broadcaster DR.
The Danish boat was patrolling the sea between Turkey and Greece's easternmost islands as part of Operation Poseidon, a border surveillance mission in support of Greece, coordinated by EU border protection agency Frontex.
Jens Møller, the police chief in charge of the Danish unit
participating in the operation, told DR that the crew had rescued 33
migrants headed for Greece in a rubber dinghy when they received a radio
order from Operation Poseidon's headquarters to put the migrants back
into to their dinghy and tow it out of Greek waters.
The crew refused the order, believing it would endanger the lives of
the migrants. "The commander considered that [the order] was not
justifiable," Møller said, adding that he eventually managed to get the
order overturned. The rescued migrants were brought to the Greek island
of Kos.
Lieutenant Commander Jan Niegsch, in charge of the Danish military
personnel taking part in the operation, confirmed the incident to
POLITICO. DR's article, which was published on Thursday night, does not
state when the incident took place.
Møller and Niegsch also told DR that the Greek coast guard has orders
to try and prevent migrant boats from crossing the sea border between
Turkey and Greece. Athens has stepped up border security measures after
Turkey announced last week that it would no longer stop migrants from
crossing into the European Union.
Danish Defense Minister Trine Bramsen, who visited the patrol crew
stationed on Kos Wednesday, told DR she was pleased with how Møller
and Niegsch had handled the incident, saying: "They solved the task
based on the mandate they were given."
So-called pushbacks of migrants are illegal under international law.

Short Url / arab.news MENEKSE TOKYAY August 01, 2020 . The SDF needs to continue to build ties with the United States, and this oil deal strengthens the ties between the SDF and the US ANKARA: A surprise deal between American Delta Crescent Energy LLC oil company and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on the development of oil fields in northeastern Syria has sparked concerns about the reaction from Ankara. One of the key disagreements between Turkey and the US on Syria has been about the latter’s local cooperation with the SDF. But Ankara has reportedly kept silent about this deal and not reacted negatively, according to the Al-Monitor news portal, despite the SDF being considered a terror group and a political extension of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) by Ankara. The deal was reportedly made “with the acknowledgement and encouragement of the White House” with Republican Senator Lindsey Graha...
