New Arrivals on Lesvos and Ikaria In the early hours of today, a group reported to be 23 people contacted Aegean Boat Report for assistance after arriving on Neapoli Beach on the southeastern shore of Lesvos. After arriving, the group split into two groups of 16 and 7 people. The smaller group stayed close to the main road, while the larger group walked west of the airport and went into hiding, afraid of what might happen if police found them. We tried to persuade the group of 16 to return to the main road and join the others, but they refused. The smaller group was located by local police shortly after first light, while the larger group was found at 09.00 after agreeing to come out of hiding. All arrivals were located and transported to the Closed Controlled Access Centre in Mavrovouni before noon. ⸻ At first light, another group—reported to be 18 people, 14 men and 4 women—made contact after arriving on Foros Beach in Fanari on the northeastern coast of Ikaria. The group walked up from the beach and found shelter at a chapel on the outskirts of the village. Several hours later they were located by local police after residents informed authorities of their presence. As far as we have been informed, the group was transported to Agios Kirykos and is awaiting transfer to the Closed Controlled Access Centre in Zervou, Samos. The groups provided pictures, videos and location data confirming their presence on the islands. The number of people in both groups has not been officially confirmed. ⸻ Despite the ongoing pressure on our organisation and the continued lack of sustainable funding, our work continues around the clock—monitoring people in distress, documenting human rights violations, and providing independent evidence when authorities fail to act. Every arrival documented, every emergency reported, and every case monitored is only possible because people choose to support independent monitoring.

New Arrivals on Samos This morning, two groups comprising a reported 40 people contacted Aegean Boat Report for assistance after arriving on the Greek island of Samos. The first group made contact at 06:30 after arriving north of Charavgi on the eastern coast of Samos. They reported being 9 people: 2 men, 6 women and 1 child. We advised the group to contact local authorities and inform them of their presence on the island, and also to reach out to local organisations for assistance. The group told us they were afraid of being pushed back by Greek authorities and had hidden in the hills above the coast. We advised them not to remain hidden, but instead to move towards more populated areas where they could be more easily located. The group started walking towards the village of Charavgi, but communication was lost while they were moving through the hills. We later learned that they had been located near Villa Issima and transported to the Closed Controlled Access Centre in Zervou. The second group reported being 31 people: 17 men, 7 women and 7 children. They had arrived at Agios Nikolaos Beach on the northwestern coast of Samos. Like the first group, they had left the shoreline and were hiding in the surrounding hills, afraid of what might happen if they encountered local authorities. We again advised the group to contact local authorities and organisations, and to move towards populated areas where they could be more easily located. After some persuasion, the group agreed to walk towards the village of Kontakeika, arriving there at approximately 14:20. Local residents informed the police, and at around 15:30 the group was located by authorities. After some time, they too were transported to the Closed Controlled Access Centre in Zervou. Both groups provided pictures, videos and location data confirming their presence on Samos. The number of people involved in these arrivals has not yet been officially confirmed. ⸻ What stands out in both cases is that the first instinct of those arriving was not to seek assistance, but to hide. Both groups expressed fear that contact with authorities could result in being returned to Turkey. Whether justified or not, this fear reflects the reality many people on the move believe they face when arriving in Greece today. ⸻ Despite the massive attack on our organisation and the lack of sustainable funding, our work continues around the clock to monitor people in distress, document human rights violations and provide independent evidence when authorities fail to protect those seeking safety.

A few weeks ago, Norwegian courts rejected Greece’s request to extradite Aegean Boat Report founder Tommy Olsen. Human Rights Watch described the decision as a victory for human rights. The case received significant attention in Norway and internationally. Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, major Norwegian media, The Guardian and many others highlighted both the case and the importance of independent monitoring at Europe’s borders. A few days ago, this work was recognised with the Annette Thommessen Honorary Award from NOAS. These have been important moments. Not only personally, but for everyone who has stood against the growing criminalisation of those documenting human rights violations at Europe’s borders. Looking from the outside, it would be reasonable to assume that things are finally moving in the right direction for Aegean Boat Report. I thought so too. But the reality is that years of criminalisation have consequences that do not disappear with a court ruling. Despite the support, despite the recognition and despite the media attention, Aegean Boat Report is still struggling to secure the funding needed to continue its work. For more than eight years, Aegean Boat Report has documented pushbacks, human rights violations and people in distress at Europe’s borders. Thousands of incidents have been documented. Tens of thousands of people have received assistance when they had nowhere else to turn. Today, the greatest challenge facing this work is no longer a courtroom. It is survival. Unless the situation changes, I may be forced to close Aegean Boat Report. That is not something I ever expected to write after everything that has happened in recent months. People continue to drown. Pushbacks continue. Human rights violations continue. The need for independent monitoring has not disappeared. For now, the work continues.

New Arrivals on Lesvos This morning, a group reported to be 17 people — 4 men, 5 women and 8 children — contacted Aegean Boat Report for assistance after arriving west of Lapsarna on the northwestern coast of Lesvos. The group provided pictures, videos and location data confirming their presence on Lesvos. The group started walking east towards more populated areas of the island. We advised them to inform local authorities of their presence and to reach out to local organisations for assistance if needed. We were later informed that authorities had been notified, but that it would take time before they could reach the group. The group therefore continued walking east along a winding dirt road. At 15.00, we were informed that the group had been located and would be transported to the Closed Controlled Access Centre in Mavrovouni. The number of people in this arrival has not been officially confirmed. ⸻ Despite the massive attack on our organisation, and the lack of sustainable funding, our work continues around the clock to monitor people in distress, document human rights violations, and provide independent evidence when authorities fail to protect those seeking safety.

New Arrivals on Chios Yesterday at 16:00, Aegean Boat Report was contacted by a group reported to be 24 people after they had been stopped by the Greek Coast Guard approximately 2 nautical miles northeast of Vokaria, on the southeastern coast of Chios. The group provided pictures, videos, and location data confirming their position inside Greek territorial waters. The people onboard were frightened and convinced they would be towed back towards Turkey. They contacted us asking for help. There was little we could do if the Greek Coast Guard had already decided to carry out a pushback operation, beyond documenting the situation. We therefore asked the group to continue sending pictures and videos of what was happening. From the material received, we could clearly see that the Coast Guard vessel was towing their boat. What we could not see were masked men onboard the Coast Guard vessel, something often reported during pushback operations. This gave us reason to hope that this was not going to end in a pushback. By following the group’s live location, we could see that they were being towed north towards the port of Chios, rather than east towards Turkey, which would have been the expected direction if the intention had been to push them back. The group was eventually brought ashore and later transferred to the Closed Controlled Access Centre in Vial. We believe that the group’s close proximity to a populated area, in broad daylight and in the presence of numerous vessels, made a pushback operation difficult to carry out. There were simply too many eyes watching and too many questions that would have needed answers. This incident is also a reminder that transparency matters. When people can document what is happening, when locations can be tracked in real time, and when witnesses are present, it becomes far more difficult for abuses to take place unseen. That is precisely why independent monitoring remains essential. The number of people in the group has not been officially confirmed. ⸻ Despite the massive attack on our organisation and the lack of sustainable funding, our work continues around the clock to monitor people in distress, document human rights violations, and provide independent evidence when authorities fail to protect those seeking safety.

Aegean Boat Report is honoured that its founder, Tommy Olsen, has been awarded the Annette Thommessen Honorary Award 2026 by NOAS. The award is given in recognition of many years of work documenting pushbacks, human rights violations and the treatment of people on the move at Europe's borders. For more than a decade, Aegean Boat Report has worked to ensure that people who are too often ignored, silenced or forgotten are seen and heard. This recognition comes at a time when independent monitoring of Europe's borders is more important than ever. While Norwegian courts recently rejected Greece's request to extradite Tommy Olsen, the European Arrest Warrant remains in place, highlighting the growing pressure faced by those who document and expose human rights violations. We accept this award with gratitude, but also with a reminder: People continue to drown at Europe's borders. Pushbacks continue. Human rights violations continue. As long as this happens, independent documentation remains essential. This award is not only recognition of work already done. It is recognition of the importance of continuing that work. Thank you to NOAS and the jury for this honour. noas.no/nominasjonsprosess-a…

Last night, a group reported to be 34 people contacted Aegean Boat Report while drifting 3.5 nautical miles east of the Greek island of Farmakonisi. According to the people onboard, the Greek Coast Guard had intercepted their boat, destroyed the engine, and left them helplessly drifting at sea in the border area between Greece and Turkey. One message from the boat read: “Water is coming into the boat. Women and children onboard. Please help us.” The Turkish Coast Guard was immediately informed and launched a rescue operation. All 34 people were rescued and taken back to Turkey. A similar incident occurred the previous night, 7 nautical miles northeast of the Greek island of Chios, involving 31 people. In that case as well, the people onboard reported that they had been intercepted by the Greek Coast Guard, their engine disabled, and left drifting at sea before being rescued by the Turkish Coast Guard. No lives were lost in either incident. But deliberately disabling engines and abandoning people in overcrowded, unseaworthy boats at sea during the night, without life-saving equipment or any means of reaching safety, is a recipe for tragedy. In these two incidents alone, 65 people were left adrift at sea. It is not a question of whether people will drown. People will drown. The only question is when. Aegean Boat Report will continue to monitor, document, and report these incidents. As long as people remain at risk in the Aegean, we will continue to be there to receive their calls for help, document what happens, and ensure that these events do not disappear in silence. ⸻ Despite the massive attack on our organisation, and the lack of sustainable funding, our work continues around the clock to monitor people in distress, document human rights violations, and provide independent evidence when authorities fail to protect those seeking safety.

New Arrivals on Samos Just after noon today, a small group reported to be six people contacted Aegean Boat Report for assistance after arriving at Pythagorio Beach on the southeastern coast of Samos. The group provided pictures, videos, and location data confirming their presence on the island. After arriving, the group walked the short distance into the town of Pythagorio and found a quiet street on the outskirts of town. Three members of the group quickly took a taxi to the Closed Controlled Access Centre in Zervou, while the remaining three — a man, a woman and their child — stayed behind. We encouraged them to go to the local police station, located only a few hundred metres away, but they were afraid of the police. They told us they feared being returned to Turkey and hoped that an organisation would come and collect them instead. As is often the case, the reality on the ground is more complicated than people imagine. After some time, they too decided to take a taxi directly to the camp. What we find particularly interesting is that both groups were able to use local taxis to reach the Closed Controlled Access Centre in Zervou. Under Greek law, transporting undocumented refugees can potentially lead to accusations of facilitating illegal entry or residence, carrying severe penalties including lengthy prison sentences. The number of people in this arrival has not been officially confirmed, but we know that all six reached the camp on their own and arrived safely at its gates. ⸻ Despite the massive attack on our organisation, and the lack of sustainable funding, our work continues around the clock to monitor people in distress, document human rights violations, and provide independent evidence when authorities fail to protect those seeking safety.

New Arrivals on Samos At noon today, a group reported to be 24 people contacted Aegean Boat Report for assistance after arriving northeast of Ormos Agiou Isidorou, on the northwestern coast of Samos. The group provided pictures, videos, and location data confirming their presence on Samos. The group arrived in a very difficult area and had to climb steep cliffs to reach higher ground. Once there, they hid, afraid of local authorities and what might happen to them if found. We advised the group to contact local authorities and move towards more populated areas so they could be located quicker. We lost contact with the group for several hours and did not regain contact until the afternoon, by then they had reached the village of Drakei. As far as we have been informed, locals in the village alerted police, and the group was eventually transported to the Closed Controlled Access Centre in Zervou. We have unfortunately not been able to confirm their arrival in the camp.

New Arrivals on Rhodes At first light this morning (Thursday 26/5), a group reported to be 29 people, 16 men, 7 women and 6 children, contacted Aegean Boat Report for assistance after arriving at Traganou Beach, on the northeastern coast of Rhodes. The group provided pictures, videos, and location data confirming their presence on Rhodes. No medical issues were reported. After landing, the group quickly moved up into the surrounding hills to hide, afraid of being pushed back by Greek authorities. We advised the group to contact local authorities, return to the main road, and follow it north towards Rhodes town so they could be located safely and transferred for registration. Unfortunately, the group did not follow this advice and instead continued further into the hills along a small winding road. As the safety situation became increasingly unclear, we informed local authorities of the group’s presence. At 09.50, the group was located by police and transported to Rhodes town. The number of people in the group has not been officially confirmed. ⸻ Despite the massive attack on our organisation, and the lack of sustainable funding, our work continues around the clock to monitor people in distress, document human rights violations, and provide independent evidence when authorities fail to protect those seeking safety.

New Arrivals on Samos This morning, Monday 25 May, a group reported to be 26 people, around half of them children, contacted Aegean Boat Report for assistance after arriving at Ormos Agiou Isidorou, on the northwestern shore of Samos. The group provided pictures, videos, and location data confirming their presence on Samos. No medical issues were reported, but they told us there were many small children in the group. After arriving, the group moved up into the hills to hide. They told us they were afraid of the authorities and what might happen if they were found. Several said they feared being pushed back to Turkey. Unfortunately, we lost contact with the group and were unable to provide further assistance. Later, we learned that the group had been located by local authorities and transported to the Closed Controlled Access Centre in Zervou.

New Arrivals on Leros In the early hours of today, at 04.20, a group reported to be 28 people contacted Aegean Boat Report for assistance after arriving east of Agia Marina, on the eastern shore of Leros. The group provided pictures, videos, and location data confirming their presence on Leros. No medical issues were reported. Shortly after landing, the group moved away from the arrival location and into the streets of Agia Marina, where they split into several smaller groups. Some headed south, while others moved north. We remained in contact with several of the groups and tried to persuade them to gather in the same location so they could be easier located. Unfortunately, each group had its own perception of what was safest to do. Local authorities had already been informed by local residents, and several police officers were searching the streets for the people who had arrived. The group members were eventually located one by one and transported to the Closed Controlled Access Centre in Lepida. When found, several told us they were afraid of what would happen to them. We again tried to reassure them that they would not be sent back. The number of people in the group has not been officially confirmed. ⸻ Despite the massive attack on our organisation, and the lack of sustainable funding, our work continues around the clock to monitor people in distress, document human rights violations, and provide independent evidence when authorities fail to protect those seeking safety.

New Arrivals on Chios Last night at 22.30, a group reported to be 9 people contacted Aegean Boat Report for assistance after arriving north of Marmaro, on the northeastern coast of Chios. The group provided pictures, videos, and location data confirming their presence on Chios. No medical issues were reported. After arrival, the group moved quickly into the surrounding hills to hide, afraid of what could happen if found by local authorities. We advised the group not to hide, but instead to move towards more populated areas where they could be located and transported safely to camp. We also advised them to inform local authorities and organisations of their presence on the island. Because it was dark and several people in the group had mobility issues, they felt it was safer to remain hidden until daylight and informed local authorities at dawn. We lost contact with the group for several hours, but regained contact at 06.00. Again, we encouraged them to leave hiding and start walking towards Marmaro so they could be easier located. As far as we know, the group began walking towards Marmaro, and local authorities had been informed of their presence on the island. Shortly after, at 07.20, all contact with the group was lost. We believe this happened after authorities located them and instructed them to turn off their phones. Later we were informed that the group had been found and transported to the Closed Controlled Access Centre in Vial. The number of people in the group has not been officially confirmed. ⸻ Despite the massive attack on our organisation and the lack of sustainable funding, our work continues around the clock to monitor people in distress, document human rights violations, and provide independent evidence when authorities fail to protect those seeking safety.
