Η Μη Κυβερνητική Οργάνωση (ΜΚΟ) με το όνομα Advocates Abroad πιάστηκε
σε βίντεο να παραδέχονται ότι διδάσκουν μετανάστες πώς να υποδύονται
τους Χριστιανούς διωγμένους, τι να λένε, πώς να το λένε, πώς να μιλάνε,
πότε να σηκώνονται, πότε να κάθονται, πώς να ζητούν διακοπή (της
συνέντευξης), πώς να κλαίνε γοερά, πώς να διηγούνται περιστατικά διωγμών
εναντίον τους και άλλα..
Το έκαναν σε 15000 ανθρώπους στην Ελλάδα και 2500 αλλού.
Έχει 480 υπαλλήλους και χιλιάδες εθελοντές από πολλά πανεπιστήμια του κόσμου.

About Advocates Abroad
Advocates began operations in Northern Greece in February 2016, in
response to the growing call for legal aid from refugees denied entrance
at the Idomeni border. Since then, Advocates has run over 480 field
missions in four countries. These missions of legal and non-legal aid
that were provided often around the clock, ensured that more than 15,000
refugees in Greece and 2,500 outside of Greece have been informed of
their rights.
Legal Advocate Field Teams in Greece
Advocates is currently running field missions on the Greek mainland,
in Athens and Thessaloniki, as well as on the islands of Chios, Samos,
Lesvos and Leros. Advocates are trained to operate in crisis situations
and to provide reliable, timely, and accurate legal aid. Accordingly,
field teams run legal aid clinics in various locations, and also visit
camps and shelters where refugees reside. They provide critical
assistance in preparing refugees and asylum seekers for their asylum
interviews, and assist in family reunification applications and appeals.
Advocates host information sessions for refugees and aid workers. We
also document and report human rights abuses and violations. Greek
Advocate attorneys provide court representation for asylum related
claims.
Remote Team
The Remote Team consists of volunteer attorneys, many of whom
previously served with us in the field, who are responsible for
responding to questions and calls for support from refugees and asylum
seekers submitted over Facebook and email. The team provides answers
and advice on the spot, or refers to field teams or third parties.
Research Team
The Research Team consists of legal professionals and law students
who support our Field Teams by producing high quality research reports
on human rights conditions and legal questions. They focus both on
country condition reports that are tailored to each asylum seeker’s
individual claims, as well as on more overarching legal and human rights
issues.
Interpreters and Translators
Advocates works with an indispensable group of volunteer translators
and interpreters – both in the field and remotely – consisting of
persons particularly skilled in one or more of the relevant languages as
well as a group of dedicated refugee and asylum seekers in Greece.
Medical Advocacy Teams
Advocates has connected with a dedicated group of volunteer
psychologists, trauma therapists and other medical professionals to
attend to the needs of refugees and asylum seekers. They provide
psychological evaluations and reports for asylum seekers, medical
assistance, crisis intervention assistance, and support our Field Team
members for their own mental health needs.
