It sounds like the Greek coast guard really effed it up and are trying to make their part in this disappear.

As always. Greek officials instead of focusing on fixing their incompetence are focusing on covering it and stopping people talking about it. This is why there is a huge wave of criminalization of refugees, aid workers, and aid organizations but no retraining and proper investigations into misconduct. None of this is surprising. Or new.

Neither surprising nor new, but depressing nonetheless.
