Greece deports 50 Bangladeshi and Pakistani migrants

Observer Online Report

Greece has deported 50 undocumented migrants, including nationals from Bangladesh and Pakistan, via a special charter flight, according to the country's Minister of Migration and Asylum, Thanos Plevris.

Local media reports revealed that a 27-year-old Bangladeshi national named Md. Hasan, a resident of Moulvibazar who had been living in Greece for four to five years, was among those expelled for posting a TikTok video inciting undocumented migrants to travel to the city of Nafplio.

According to Greek media reports, Hasan uploaded the video in June, stating that individuals without legal papers in Nafplio had nothing to worry about and police would not intervene even after fifty years. The call encouraging illegal entry into Greece drew the attention of authorities, prompting strict legal action.

Although Hasan previously held a legal residence permit in Greece, the incident led to the revocation of his residency card and the formal rejection of his asylum application.

Minister Plevris stated that the special charter flight carrying the 50 irregular migrants reinforces the Greek government's zero-tolerance policy against illegal immigration and unauthorized entry.

The viral video uploaded in Nafplio had sparked widespread criticism across Greece, featuring prominently on major television channels and national newspapers. Following a thorough investigation, Greek police identified the offender and initiated legal proceedings, with Minister Plevris vowing stern action against the promotion of illegal immigration on social media.

Meanwhile, the incident has drawn sharp reactions from the general Bangladeshi expatriate community in Greece, who complained that certain content creators crossing the Mediterranean dangerously via Libya are spreading unverified and misleading information solely for online views and popularity, tarnishing the reputation of the wider expatriate community.
