Doctors Without Borders condemns Greece's treatment, deportations of migrants

Doctors Without Borders, a prominent NGO, has condemned the Greek government for its alleged mistreatment and illegal deportation of migrants arriving on the island of Lesbos.

"Many people there have been exposed to violence and have alleged abductions by unidentified masked people, pushbacks that forced them out of Greece, arbitrary detentions, and deprivation of food and shelter," it said.

The Greek government has ordered an investigation into claims that a group of migrants was illegally deported from Lesbos back to Turkey. Last week's New York Times report claimed that the migrants were taken onto a Greek coast guard boat that left them in a raft at sea to be picked up by the Turkish coast guard, which returned them to Turkey.
