Ep 11: Counter-mapping pushbacks. With Rosa from Alarm Phone (English).

Our guest today is Rosa from the Alarm Phone. We talk to Rosa about the situation at the Turkish – Greek border. In the past few years, Greek authorities have increasingly pushed back people on the move, using more and more violence. This is happening both at sea, where the Greek coast guard forces people back into Turkish waters, and on the land border, where the Greek border police detains people before driving them back to Turkey. Rosa explains how important the videos and testimonies of people on the move are in documenting these violent practices. She also talks about attempts by authorities to prevent people on the move from doing this important work of counter-mapping.
