Greece and human rights. A sample from Human Rights watch:

Migrants and Asylum Seekers

Greece initiated in April temporary protection for Ukrainian refugees. According to authorities, by July 31 Greece hosted a total of 70,676 Ukrainian refugees while by September 11, 10,139 non-Ukrainians had arrived in Greece in 2022—5,742 by sea and 4,397 by land.

Greece's migration minister, Notis Mitarachi, told parliament in March that Ukrainians are “real refugees,” while those arriving from Syria or Afghanistan are “irregular migrants,” even though many Syrians and Afghans have valid refugee claims.

While the Greek government continued to deny it engages in illegal pushbacks, it reported in early September “averting” 150,000 irregular arrivals in 2022.
