From the following day, RSA undertook the representation of most of the survivors and of the victims\u2019 families, coordinating communication with the competent authorities in order to enable the identification and burial of the deceased, a process which, for some, lasted three months. As noted by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rsaegean.org\/el\/lesvos-tafes-thymaton-nayagiou\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Efi Latsoudi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, social scientist at RSA:<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cBorder policies that kill people come with a heavy toll in human lives. The point is not only to stand by families as they bury their loved ones. The point is what we do to stop burying people.\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should also be noted that on 5 March 2026, the Three-member Felony Appeal Court of the North Aegean <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/rsaegean\/posts\/pfbid0it8GCZdzGGvWNPGTCD1KRtQHejjt68z7D2L1v3kWEbgvJ1tFsp8xvddKZoBhHjEJl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>acquitted<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a survivor of this shipwreck. The refugee, who had lost his wife and two-year-old child in the shipwreck, had been accused of unauthorised transportation and causing a shipwreck, as the alleged driver of the boat.

The case once again highlighted the unjust criminalisation of refugee survivors.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, although outside the 2025 timeframe, we cannot fail to mention the<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rsaegean.org\/en\/chios-greece-deadly-tragedy-following-collision-between-coast-guard-vessel-and-boat-carrying-refugees\/\"> <b>deadly tragedy that occurred in Chios<\/b><\/a><b> on 3 February 2026<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, following a collision of a Greek Coast Guard vessel with a boat carrying refugees. Fifteen people lost their lives, and one child remains missing. All survivors sustained serious injuries, with one woman remaining in critical condition. This incident once again raises serious questions about compliance with the duty to search and rescue, and highlights the dangerous consequences of the systematic deterrence practices implemented at
