A BBC investigation has revealed that the Greek coastguard has allegedly caused the deaths of more than 40 migrants in the Mediterranean Sea over a three-year period. Witnesses claim that nine migrants were deliberately thrown overboard by coastguard officers. The investigation was prompted by accusations from a Somali man who stated he was zip-tied and thrown into the sea. The Greek coastguard has denied these claims.
