South Sudanese man faces 25 years in Greece over 'smuggling' trial

Original: (from de:criminalize) 'ON MONDAY, D. FROM SOUTH SUDAN WILL STAND TRIAL AND FACE 25 YEARS IN PRISON FOR "SMUGGLING" Next

A young man from South Sudan, identified as D., goes on trial on Monday, 5 October, in Chania, Crete, accused of 'smuggling' and facing up to 25 years in prison. He was arrested in January near the coast of Crete. Activists are drawing attention to the case, arguing he is being criminalised rather than treated as a migrant in need of protection.

Why now: Human rights advocates are highlighting the trial as an example of migrants being prosecuted for smuggling.
