it's 15 more years of waiting of errors. all we want is just if we want this to go to trial and it doesn't seem like that will happen any time soon given what happened today. charles, like this are deeply concerning because they criminalize life saving work and set a dangerous precedent. indeed, there has already been a chilling effect with human rights defenders and humanitarian organizations forced to hold that human rights work in greece and other countries. or in this avalanche as the head of advocacy and strategy for phoenix organization providing legal aid to asylum seekers. she says the cases had an impact on all humanitarian groups operating off the greek coast is not just dish case. there are dozens or even hundreds of cases similar to days. obviously we phenix don't do a search and rescue, but as a fellow monetary,
