The&nbsp; family was illegally deported by Frontex to Turkey in October 2016, shortly after&nbsp; arriving in Greece. It is the first time that Frontex through an action for damages has&nbsp; been held responsible before the EU Court of First Instance for illegally deporting&nbsp; people and violating fundamental rights. Reports of similar pushbacks by Frontex&nbsp; have been piling up in recent years. The family is being represented by law firm&nbsp; Prakken D&#8217;Oliveira Human Rights Lawyers. Prakken D&#8217;Oliveira is being supported by&nbsp; the Dutch Council for Refugees, BKB, Sea-Watch Legal Aid Fund and Jungle Minds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Syrian family, with four young children between the ages of 1 and 7, applied for asylum&nbsp; in Greece in October 2016. Their request was registered by the authorities. Eleven days&nbsp; later, the family was nonetheless deported by Frontex and Greek authorities and taken onto a plane to Turkey without having any access to an asylum procedure. Nor was there an&nbsp; official expulsion order. During the flight arranged by Frontex and with their staff present, the&nbsp; four young children were separated from their parents. They were also ordered not to speak&nbsp; to each other. In Turkey, the family was immediately imprisoned. After release, the family&nbsp; had no access to basic services and they were unable to sustain themselves. They fled&nbsp; onwards and are now living in northern Iraq.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:61px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Violations of fundamental rights&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the deportation, the family became the victim of a so-called pushback, by which people&nbsp; are deported to a non-EU country without prior procedure. As a result, the family has been&nbsp; denied the fundamental right to apply for asylum by Frontex. Frontex has also violated the&nbsp; principle on non-refoulement, a basic principle of international law that prohibits returning&nbsp; asylum seekers or refugees to a country in which they fear persecution or risk inhumane&nbsp; treatment. Both are fundamental rights that apply in the European Union, as also stated in&nbsp; the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. By separating children from their parents during the&nbsp; flight, Frontex also violated the rights of the child because it placed the children in a&nbsp; traumatic situation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Undermining the values on which the EU is built&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There has been no substantive response from Frontex about its responsibility for the&nbsp; pushback since the deportation, now five years ago and despite a complaint procedure&nbsp; about these events. Meanwhile, reports of illegal pushbacks by Frontex are piling up.&nbsp; Prakken D&#8217;Oliveira Human Rights Lawyers now holds, on behalf of the Syrian family,&nbsp; Frontex responsible for the violations of fundamental rights: \u201cBreach of fundamental rights of&nbsp; the European Union by an EU agency is seriously undermining the values on which the&nbsp; Union is founded. We therefore are holding Frontex, and the EU accountable and urging&nbsp; them to restore the rule of law.\u201d It is the first time that Frontex has been held responsible in&nbsp; this way before the EU Court of First Instance for illegally deporting people and violating&nbsp; fundamental rights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery week, men, women and children fleeing war and violence are illegally deported from&nbsp; Europe&#8217;s borders. People have been killed, others were attacked or mistreated. Frontex&nbsp; plays a major role in this human rights violations. With this law suit and campaign, we as&nbsp; European citizens hold the EU accountable and demand an immediate end to human rights&nbsp; violations and oppression at our external borders.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>International campaign&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the submission of the case, the Dutch Council for Refugees, BKB, Sea-Watch Legal&nbsp; Aid Fund, Jungle Minds, and Prakken D&#8217;Oliveira Human Rights Lawyers are launching the&nbsp; international campaign #notonourborderwatch. At www.notonourborderwatch.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>concerned citizens are offered the opportunity to send a message to the European&nbsp; Commission urging European Commissioner Johansson, responsible for migration policy, to&nbsp; immediately end the violations of fundamental human rights at the EU&#8217;s external borders.&nbsp; The campaign is supported by NGOs across Europe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>====&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More about the illegal pushbacks by Frontex:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"European Border Force Complicit in \u2018Illegal\u2019 Pushbacks (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bellingcat.com\/news\/2020\/10\/23\/frontex-at-fault-european-border-force-complicit-in-illegal-pushbacks\/\" target=\"_blank\">European Border Force Complicit in \u2018Illegal\u2019 Pushbacks<\/a>, Source: Bellingcat <br>&#8211; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"How Frontex helps haul migrants back to Libyan torture camps (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spiegel.de\/international\/europe\/libya-how-frontex-helps-haul-migrants-back-to-libyan-torture-camps-a-d62c3960-ece2-499b-8a3f-1ede2eaefb83\" target=\"_blank\">How Frontex helps haul migrants back to Libyan torture camps<\/a>.
