2. They have funny hats.
   I just wish Frontex would’ve been built as a paramilitary frontier guard from the start on.

   Now they still are more like civil servants.

3. Cool, read the article, wish there was a video.

4. fuck frontex. they operate illegal inhumane detention facilities where detainees go without food and water, and being repeatedly attacked while locked up.

   This is systemic and not a one time incident.

   >Experts told us the secret detention sites this reporting exposes are **clearly illegal** because **they operate outside any official and legal framework** and that the treatment of detainees **amounts to torture**. “It’s being done to punish, deter and intimidate and therefore **it meets the widely recognised UN definition of torture**,” said Liz Bates, lead doctor at Freedom from Torture.

5. They’re also under investigation, again

6. We are celebrating people that exploit and kill immigrants now? Nice
