Europe’s deadly frontiers: European parliament must stand up for
migrants
(Brussels, 13 June 2012) Amnesty International has
pressed European Union governments and EU institutions to stop exposing people
to danger on Europe’s borders. The
call accompanies the launch of an online public petition to Members of the
European Parliament, urging them to fulfill their ‘watchdog’ role and hold
governments and institutions accountable for how they treat migrants, refugees
and asylum-seekers along Europe’s borders.
