Violence at the EU’s borders: Tech and surveillance in Europe’s Human Rights Crisis
Manage episode 329145170 series 2980399
The migration crisis in 2015 brutally exposed the divisions in Europe. People who fled war and make it to Europe are being met with violence and intrusive surveillance at the border at the hands of state authorities.
We sat down with Natalie & Sergio from the Border Violence Monitoring Network to learn more about the situation at Europe’s borders.
This is the first episode in our Border Surveillance series. Join us next week for Surveillance: Made in Italy and sold around the world.
