TL;DR Summary

Human rights groups, including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, have criticized Greek authorities for their lack of progress in investigating a migrant shipwreck off the Peloponnese that resulted in over 500 deaths. The groups claim there are credible allegations that the Hellenic Coast Guard's actions and omissions contributed to the disaster. Six months after the incident, concerns have been raised about the prospects for accountability, as the inquiry has been conducted in a questionable manner. Survivors and families of the victims are demanding justice and a full accounting of what happened. The Greek government denies enforcing pushbacks but admits to implementing "tough but fair" migration management policies.
