2. It was a year-long investigation designed and coordinated by @lhreports.bsky.social, and published in @wearesolomon.bsky.social and other European media (e.g., German broadcaster ARD, Swiss broadcaster SRF).

3. The investigation visually documented the spaces on Superfast Ferries ships where people (even children) are locked up for up to 50 hours as they are illegally returned from Italy to Greece.

5. This Christmas, I was called to testify to the authorities about the case for a second time, and, according to the information we have, we are now expecting the formation of a case file.

For German speakers, here is a great interactive piece of the investigation.
