Alaa Hamoudi was very unlucky to end up in the hands of Frontex and its Greek partners, but his luck turned when Bashar found him, and thanks to Bashar and his colleagues from @lighthousereports.com and @bellingcat.com, Alaa’s case was ultimately brought before the @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social

“Thousands of people who, until now, had no chance of simply accessing the Court. I’m not talking about winning or losing a case - just knocking on the Court’s door and seeing a judge willing to provide judicial protection.”

Watch the full interview with Alaa Hamoudi on RAI 3 (English subtitles — link in the comments). In it, he talks about the pushbacks by Greece and Frontex against him and 21 others, and explains what the Grand Chamber judgment of the EU Court means for him and for those who couldn’t fight back.

You read the judgment. Now watch the day it was delivered.
RAI 3 followed Alaa Hamoudi and his legal team on the day the Grand Chamber of the @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social delivered its landmark ruling in Hamoudi v Frontex.

Buona visione!

Vincent, if you wish to come clean and share more information about pullback operations jointly committed by Frontex and Libyan militias, or to receive legal advice regarding your personal liability, DM us.

Vincent actually helps Libyan militias intercept refugee boats and pull them back to Libya, where the “rescued” refugees are subjected to rape, torture, slavery, and murder upon disembarkation.
FM v Frontex is still pending before the @eucourtofjustice.bsky.social

Last week, Alaa convinced the Grand Chamber to set new rules on evidence in all Frontex pushback cases.
Judges found his account ‘sufficiently detailed, specific and consistent’ and sent the case back.
Continuing this litigation is costly.
If you can, help us pursue Alaa’s case

“Lawyers representing a Syrian refugee say...Frontex fails to grasp what its own so-called ‘strengthened safeguards’ might look like in practice… Hamoudi… took his case all the way to the general court … which he then lost… despite Hamoudi's pushback having also been documented by @bellingcat.com”

@lolahierro.bsky.social in @elpais.com said: "The CJEU has entered an unexplored land on Thursday by issuing for the first time a sentence that blames Frontex."
“The case came to public attention thanks to the investigative collective @bellingcat.com , which reconstructed the “phantom landing.”

Our Alaa Hamoudi to the @washingtonpost.com said the "ruling was not only a personal victory but “an important step toward justice for the men, women, and children who went through the same experience as I did ... and could not fight back.”

Frontex impunity might stop today, but as Alaa said: "many others are still stripped of their rights every day at the borders of Europe."
We need more Bellingcat and more people to document and collect evidence to hold Frontex to account. ✊

The judges said that people pushed back are:
"in a position which makes it very difficult for them to collect evidence for the purpose of proving such facts, or even excludes any possibility of their doing so at all" 👇

The work of Bellingcat and the open-source intelligence done on the case has been essential to bringing the case to the Court.
The new standards of evidence decided by the Grand Chamber show even more how needed that work will be in the future. 👇
