In 2015, many individuals fleeing conflict and oppression sought refuge in Europe. Tommy Olsen, residing in Norway, traveled to Greece, a significant entry point for migrants and refugees, to assist new arrivals. He later founded the NGO Aegean Boat Report to monitor the conditions of asylum seekers in Europe. Currently, Olsen faces legal challenges in Greece amid a crackdown on refugees and those advocating for their rights. Mary Lawlor, the UN special rapporteur on human rights defenders, criticized Greece's stringent migration policies and the targeting of activists, attributing part of the issue to broader European attitudes towards migration. This week on the podcast Reveal, reporters Dinah Rothenberg and Viola Funk discuss the challenges faced by refugees and human rights defenders in Greece, including legal and physical threats from authorities.
