Iran Press/ Europe: Amnesty International condemned "inhumane" measures that Greek authorities have taken toward migrants since Turkey no longer stop refugees in Syria from crossing by land and sea into Greece.
Turkey eased restrictions at the western border it shares with Greece in response to thousands of migrants from Syria who have poured into Turkey in recent days amid offensive of its Army at the Syrian Army at Idlib and escalating violence.
The developments followed a statement from the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) that called for "calm and an easing of tensions on Turkey's borders with the European Union in light of the present increased movements of people there—including refugees and asylum-seekers."
The agency explained that it is monitoring the conditions in the region as well as providing humanitarian support, and emphasized that "it is important that the authorities refrain from any measures that might increase the suffering of vulnerable people."
