171 Member of the local solidarity group: Movement for the support of the rights of Refugees and Migrants. Interview held on 30 November 2017. 172 Information acquired during interviews with members of the Motion for the support of Refugees’ and Migrants’ Rights and with Doc Mobile, on 30 November 2017. Furthermore, during our follow-up visit on the 30th of March 2018, many of the foreign nationals/stateless persons, with who we discussed –the visit was joined by one of GCR’s interpreters, therefore communication was possible– reported being increasingly abused by port and private security personnel guarding the port. Some reported being electrocuted with stun guns, while one of the minors we met had a broken arm, after being beaten. 173 Indicatively, see Iefimerida, ‘Πάτρα: Άγρια επεισόδια με μετανάστες -Αστυνομικοί & λιμενικοί απειλούν με κινητοποιήσεις [Patra: Wild incidents with migrants – police and port authorities threaten with mobilizations], iefimerida, 5 March 2018, <http://www.iefimerida.gr/news/400607/patra-agriaepeisodia-me-metanastes-astynomikoi-limenikoi-apeiloyn-me-kinitopoiiseis>, last accessed 29 March 2018; Newsbomb, ‘Εμπόλεμη ζώνη το λιμάνι της Πάτρας: Μετανάστες επιτέθηκαν σε Λιμενικό και τον τραυμάτισαν!’ [The warzone port of Patra: Migrants attacked and injured a port official!], newbomb, 4 February 2018, <http://www.newsbomb.gr/ellada/news/story/858154/empolemi-zoni-to-limani-tispatras-metanastes-epitethikan-se-limeniko-kai-ton-traymatisan>, last accessed 29 March 2018. 174 Proto Thema, ‘Πάτρα: Ένας νεκρός από άγριες συμπλοκές μεταναστών με ρόπαλα στο λιμάνι’, [Patra: One dead following fierce clashes with bats between migrants at the port], Proto Thema, 4 May 2018, https://www.protothema.gr/greece/article/784652/agries-sublokes-metanaston-meropala-sto-limani-tis-patras/, last accessed 24 May 2018. 175 Left, ‘Δ.

Concluding remarks “Push-backs, deterrence, detention, victimization, marginalization, criminalization and despair”; two years on, these are some of the primary, cumulative, effects that the EUTurkey Statement and the resultant Greek system of first-line/border reception established to implement it, have brought on asylum seekers’ lives. More precisely, these are some of the direct effects experienced by people –forcefully displaced or not– when ambiguous security concerns trample human rights and humanitarian values, transforming human beings into nothing more than numbers in a statistical equation (i.e. “flows”). 52
