“Our monitoring efforts through testimony collections summarise pushbacks and other types of border violence in Europe.Our goal is too provide an overview of changes, trends, and specific notable cases in a variety of geographical areas monitored by the Network, as well as accounts of escalating violence, excessive use of force and other key issues. All reports are publicly available. Our testimonies and reports serve as a basis for the Network’s multi-jurisdictional advocacy efforts to denounce border violence and pursue accountability.”
