Key Europe-Wide Reports and Data on Pushbacks

In the interest of providing vital information on pushbacks for research and public awareness purposes, RRE has assembled a non-exhaustive list of key evidence and data on pushbacks. It comprises a mixture of content published by media outlets, networks, INGOs and grassroots organisations who are shining a light on pushbacks in multiple locations across Europe.
