3 Migrants forced back to Turkey by Greece found frozen to death

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 75%. (I'm a bot)

Three bodies found in three villages in Edirne, a northwestern Turkish province bordering Greece, sparked allegations that Greece is involved in "Pushback," an illegal practice of forcing illegal migrants to countries they are not citizens of but arrive from.

"Pushback" is an illegal practice under international conventions, and Greece has never acknowledged whether its security forces were involved in pushing back the migrants or not.

Turkish security forces apprehended more than 59,675 irregular migrants in Edirne province on the border with Greece and Bulgaria in the first 10 months of 2018.

Demirören News Agency reported yesterday that Turkish border guards discovered 713 illegal migrants "Pushed back" by Greece in the past five days, most were Afghan or Syrian nationals, who were accommodated at a center run by the migration authority.

Under the deal, Greece sends migrants held on the Aegean islands they crossed over to from nearby Turkish shores and in return, EU countries receive a number of Syrian migrants legally.

Some desperate migrants still take the better-policed land border between Turkey and Greece, especially in the winter months when a safe journey through the Aegean is nearly impossible aboard dinghies.
