Researcher: borders & their violence, border regimes, Frontex, pushbacks. Writes a lot about Evros. 'A provocateur', 'should be investigated by the state'.

📢🎆 Our article is finally out! We argue that pushbacks & other forms of violence should not be seen just as human rights violations but as normalized technologies of border management embedded in the racialised, violent border regimes of liberal states. https://t.co/0oMqvHCuF3

🆘️ from 2 people stranded in #Bulgaria! The people said they had not eaten in days, and that 1 person had a badly injured leg. We alerted authorities who said they searched but found no one. We lost contact with the people since last night and fear a #pushback. Where are they?

This is despite occasional bragging by the authorities that crossings through Evros are nearly 0, several walls built, a new surveillance system, lots of tech and equipment bought and permanent Frontex presence. If people need to move across the border, they move. That's all.

This is the second stranding in #Evros reported by @alarmphone in 8 days. While there's 0 media attention and little monitoring of this border, #pushbacks continue (from what I hear and as traditions in the area dictate) and recorded arrivals the last 5 years have increased.
