    Defending human rights in times of border militarization May 2020-September 2020 October 2020 Contents Introduction 1. Crossing Evros Borders. 2. The generalized practice of judicial authorities to convict newcomers with the offense of illegal entry. 3. The militarization of the Borders 4. Monitoring, advocating, and pursuing strategic litigation on the illegal practices at the land border of Evros. 5. Reception and Identification Center’s (RIC) of Fylakio, Orestiada operation is challenged by the strict measures taken by the government against COVID-19 I. Specific Considerations II. Developments on the field of transfers to shelters 6. Evros Region as European Border I. The geopolitical significance of Evros II. Frontex implementation III. The new EU pact on the European Common Asylum System 7. An alarming increase in racist speech and acts of racist violence 8. An eye to the Future: a constant need for vigorous and collective advocacy of Human Rights Introduction On the 28th of February 20201 President Erdogan announced that “Turkey will no longer stop Syrian refugees from reaching Europe”, causing diplomatic disputes, violent clashes between newcomers and Greek governmental actors, and an aggressive political response. Since then, the EU Member States continue to enforce highly problematic policies of externalization and militarization of border security. These policies have created a volatile environment, generating fear, distress, and the rise of xenophobic rhetoric in the area. HumanRights360 has identified that such policies have paved the way for persons affiliated with far-right beliefs to exploit and manipulate public opinion in order to purposefully create irrational suspicions for refugees. Aside from the policies enforced due to those incidents, there has also been a significant strengthening of the already strict border politics under the pretense of preventing the dissemination of COVID-19.
