🇬🇷 GREECE HAS TOUGHENED ITS LAWS ON NGO INVOLVEMENT IN ILLEGAL MIGRATION

Greece has introduced tougher penalties for certain offences involving the facilitation of irregular migration — with NGO membership treated as an aggravating circumstance.

Here are the key facts:

🔴 Facilitating illegal entry or exit
An NGO member convicted of this offence can face at least 10 years in prison and a fine of at least €50,000.

🔴 Transporting undocumented migrants
Transporting an undocumented migrant can carry at least 10 years in prison and a €60,000 fine for each migrant involved.

🔴 Facilitating unlawful stay
Helping facilitate an undocumented migrant’s unlawful stay can carry up to 10 years in prison, depending on the circumstances.

🔴 NGOs themselves can be affected
The initiation of criminal proceedings against a member can potentially result in the NGO being removed from the official government register.

⚠️ But there is an important distinction:
This does not mean that an NGO worker automatically receives 10 years in prison simply for providing humanitarian assistance to a migrant. The law concerns specific offences involving illegal entry, exit, transport and unlawful stay.

The debate is therefore not simply about whether Greece should control its borders — it absolutely has that right.

The bigger question is where the line should be drawn between criminally facilitating illegal immigration and legitimate humanitarian assistance.

🇬🇷 Strong borders and humanitarian principles don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
