The EU's frontier is starting to resemble a science fiction film, say experts.

Evidence has amassed in recent years that Frontex has violated human rights at Europe’s borders – but the border agency is surprisingly hard to hold to account.

The new executive director at the European Union’s border agency, Frontex, should address the agency’s grave failings and ensure it puts respect for human rights front and center.

Despite its claims of saving lives, Frontex is putting people at risk by aiding Libya’s interceptions of migrant boats.

In the footage, you can see the small, overcrowded wooden boat motoring away in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea as the Libyan Coast Guard vessel, the Ras Jadir, chases it. It is too far away to see any faces, but it seems like the people are aware they are being chased and are trying to evade capture.

Frontex denies accusations and says it liaises with rescue centres in the region

Over 4,000 documents from the EU's border police agency Frontex, including freedom of information request responses, are now public. The files were uploaded and published by German-based transparency group FragDenStaat.
