Bellingcat report points to evidence that Greece is using lethal tear gas on refugees at Turkish-Greek border
In this photograph from March 1, 2020, a police officer fires a tear gas canister with his launcher as Greek soldiers stand by in Kastanies, Greece, during clashes with migrants who want to cross into Greece from Turkey's Pazarkule border crossing.
"Unlike normal tear gas rounds, which have a limited range and would be unlikely to cause significant injuries, these long-range munitions usually have significantly more kinetic energy than normal tear gas rounds," the website said. Speaking to reporters in the northwestern border province of Edirne, Soylu said Greek police had wounded the scores of migrants trying to cross the border.
