WHO WE ARE
Mobile Info Team is a Greece-based organisation supporting people
disadvantaged by displacement or migration to navigate complex
legal systems and assert their rights. We provide accessible
information and tailored case support and use our daily interactions
with people to advocate for change at national and EU levels,
amplifying the voices of those affected by exclusionary policies and
campaigning for a just migration and asylum system.
Border Criminologies is based at the University of Oxford, and
collates diverse forms of research that aim to go beyond academics
by showcasing original research from a range of perspectives,
supporting advocacy work and creating practical resources to help
those working in the migration field. Our work falls into five main
areas: Detention and imprisonment, Deportation, Law and courts,
Borders and policing, Activism and advocacy.
The Border Violence Monitoring Network is a coalition of
organisations that monitors and documents human rights violations
against people on the move within European borders. Since 2016, it
has published multiple editions of the Black Book of Pushbacks, a
3000-page record of testimonies of violations impacting more than
25,000 people on the move.
We are grateful to the 31 people who shared their experiences of being detained in police stations in
Greece for this research, to the translators we worked with and to Hadrien Delacrausaz, Gaia
Gamberale, Clara Zinecker and Claire August for their assistance with research.
