Tension Mounts With Disgruntled Migrants in Greece

The number of refugees and migrants in Greece had reached 52,207 on Tuesday with more arriving every day from Turkey illegally. As a result there is tension at the Greece-FYROM border and Piraeus Port.
About 14,000 frustrated refugees at Idomeni — on the Greece-Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia border crossing point — live under poor conditions, while waiting for the border to open. Despite the insistence of Greek authorities that the border will never open again, refugees refuse to live in area in the hope that the border would open.
On Tuesday, the situation at the Idomeni tent city was explosive. Hundreds of refugees staged a protest demanding the opening of the border with FYROM and blocked road access to and from the camp. Some pelted stones at members of a non government organization who were trying to distribute food. An NGO left the camp saying that the conditions are not safe to do their work.
Refugees tell to tsismosaonline.com news reportes that the conditions are now intolerable because of complete lack of hygiene and food shortages. Two of them set themselves on fire and were transferred to the hospital in Thessaloniki.
Health Minister Andreas Xanthos visited Idomeni to assess the situation and had discussions with all pertinent organizations. The minister will also visit all migrant hospitality centers in northern Greece.
At Piraeus Port, more than 5,000 refugees and migrants are camping out waiting to be transferred to hospitality centers. The Piraeus Medical Association issued a health hazard warning as the refugees live under squalid conditions.
President of the association Nikos Platanisiotis called on the state to transport the people into organized hospitality centers. He said that as summer is approaching and the heat is rising, health risks are increasing.
Meanwhile, on Lesbos and Chios, refugees protest that the registration centers (hotspots) have turned into closed-end structures after the European Union-Turkey agreement on Friday.
At the same time the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees expressed in the strongest way the reaction to the content of the EU-Turkey agreement, which it considers illegal.
UNHCR spokeswoman Melissa Fleming announced that UNHCR stopped some activities on the Greek islands because it opposes the new EU-Turkey agreement, namely the conversion of hot spots into closed structures.
However, despite the fact that Turkey agreed to stem the flow of refugees to Greece by blocking people smugglers across its shores, refugees keep arriving on Greek islands on a daily basis. Three days after the EU-Turkey treaty went into effect, and the inflow of migrants remain the same.
Greek authorities search for locations across Greece in order to establish more migrant hospitality centers.

Cyprus-27-year old Filipina mother and undocumented worker jumped from the 5th floor of a building when the immigration police attempt to check

A young Filipina mother fell to her death from the 5th floor of an apartment complex in Nicosia on Friday, in an attempt to flee police immigrant checks.
Police were performing routine checks following reports that immigrants without residence permits were staying in the building.
When the 27-year-old woman from the Philippines whose permit had expired long time ago, was informed of police presence, unnoticed she tried to get to the next door apartment via the building’s skylight.
No one saw her fall. She was found later heavily injured when neighbours went searching for her after the police had gone.
She was taken to hospital but succumbed to her injuries on Saturday morning.
The unfortunate woman was a mother of three young children and was residing in Nicosia with her Nepalese partner. 
Tsismosaonline.com news reporter talked to Nepalese husbund and he said two days before the police raid the building, his wife  worried about her life as an undocumented worker " I built a family here -- but it could all be taken away. I live in fear of deportation were the last words of the filipina. 
I was at work in a restaurant when I heard immigration police was arresting undocumented workers. Two armed men with badges showed up on my apartment complex in Nicosia the husbund said. My neighborhood was full of armed officers and flashing police lights. All my neighbors were out on the street.
I was born in a small farming town in Nepal and came to Cyprus without papers at 20 years old. The lingo for people like me is a “Dreamer” .I knew we were undocumented, but I didn’t yet understand what it meant. I was different. Like when my friends got their licenses, and I couldn’t. Or when I tried to find work, but was told I wouldn’t be able to. That’s when I started to realize what life without immigration papers was going to be like.
I started to feel pretty bad about myself, too, like I wasn’t good enough, because I wasn’t like the other legal foreigners. I worried about stuff like that all the time. I worried about how I could help support my family financially, too.  I need to work to support my family, and I need documents in order to do that lawfully. My children won’t have their mother by their side. Who could ever call that justice?
Deportation: What Happens if you are Deported
Deportation is a serious problem for  undocumented workers. If you over stay your visa, work illegally or break the law, you are liable for deportation. However, deportations can happen by accident too.
There are a few things to keep in mind regarding deportation orders. Usually, the orders will give you a chance to leave of your own free will and most of the time, you won’t get an ugly deportation stamp in the back of your passport and more likely than not, be allowed back into the country after a set amount of time (or simply after you leave and get a new visa). Deportation orders usually come with terms and conditions, you must leave within a set amount of time, buy your own ticket out (don’t necessarily need to go home but you can’t stay here) and stay outside the country for a set period of time.
If you violate the deportation orders, you are in for a nasty surprise. You will more likely than not be detained in an immigration detention centre while the host country processes you out. If you are detained, you can expect to sit in the detention centre for up to a week and sometimes longer. At this point, it is an official deportation, you get the deportation stamp in the back of your passport and free ticket home (they usually don’t give you a plane ticket to anywhere but your home country). You may have just stopped and saw I said free ticket and yes, it is free in a sense but you will be billed for the ticket and usually fined, it will be much more expensive than if you had self-deported.
If you were forcefully deported, cross that country off the places you cannot visit again as you won’t be allowed back in until you repay the ticket, fine and have to wait a set period of time, that is if they even let you back in. Not only that, be prepared to answer some questions at the next port of entry as immigration officers really don’t like seeing deportation stamps. However, hope is not lost if you find yourself with one of those stamps in the back of your passport and in fact, is easy to rectify (won’t help you get back into the country you were deported from).
Keep in mind, most countries ask you if you have ever been deported or removed from a country. If you have but never got the stamp or it is no longer in your (new) passport, then tick no.  If you have that stamp and the arrival card asks if you have been deported, obviously you need to tick yes because it will be quite obvious to the immigration officer you are lying and you’ll probably be booted out of another country.

Filipina wanted by the Greek Police. She left with her son abroad without the permission of the Greek husband

Case of child abduction by a Filipina investigates the Greek Police
According to a Police officer was reported to the Police Division Ilia - Pyrgos that a 38 years old separated wife from the Philippines, which has joint custody of a 7-year old son, without the consent of the Greek husband, took the child abroad. Against the Filipina woman secured arrest warrant and now she is wanted by the police.
We have critical situation here members, If you take your child abroad permanently without the father consent, this is technically parental child abduction.  Tsismosaonline.com news reporter talked to the Greek husband ftom Kilini city - Pyrgos, who prefer to remain anonymous,  he said : My son born in Greece and  raised by me here ..but after too many troubles from my filipina wife we decided to separated. Cecile was in the Philippines for 2 years and never cared about our son nikos. She took him away just to safe guard our money..thats all.

We have succeeded  also to make a  video call and talk to Filipina wife  on Skype, somewhere in the world were she is today, she said :My Greek husband and his mistress conspired on waking me away from him. I visited my son but his father is always between us .wont let him talk freely .he is a control freak. I have to explain and give adddress where im staying..and lately he denied contact also he is not allowing not even skype or phone calls freely betwern me and my son. We both have suffered and are missing each other....what can i do...
Fiona one of our editors team administrator, she is a family law attorny and a specialist divorce lawyer, we asked her and she  said: People are much more international now. It is not uncommon for people to spend periods of time working abroad or to have relationships with someone from another country. International families are now common, but the international element can cause problems if the relationship ends and there are children.  Thankfully most couples who separate are able to agree arrangements for their children between them, without the need for the help of solicitors, mediators or the court. Shared arrangements are becoming increasingly common, where the children spend similar amounts of time with their mother and father. Obviously this requires an element of cooperation between the parents and usually a close geographical proximity for it to work. The further apart the parents live the harder it is to make sure that the children have a full relationship with both parents, which is in their best interests in the vast majority of cases. This is particularly difficult to achieve if one of the parents decides that they would like to move to another country with the children. Given how easy it is to move within the EU, this is happening more and more. If this happens it is important that you know your legal position.
Do you have parental responsibility? The first thing you must consider is do you have parental responsibility for your child? This allows you to have a say in the important decisions in your child's life, such as consenting to medical treatment, and more importantly, as in this case, a say in whether your child can move abroad permanently with your ex. As the law stands at present, all mothers automatically have parental responsibility for their child as soon as they are born. All father's married to the mother of their child also automatically have parental responsibility. Unmarried fathers, do not have parental responsibility for their child unless it is formally granted by the court or a formal agreement is entered into with the child's mother in a prescribed form. Thankfully the law was changed recently, to take into account the fact that many unmarried couples now have children, and any father named on the birth certificate of a child born in Greece automatically has parental responsibility for that child. If you are not named on your child's birth certificate as the father, you can obtain parental responsibility with the agreement of your child's mother or through the court. If you have parental responsibility and your ex wants to take the child to live abroad, your ex needs your permission. If you are agreeable to this, it is always recommended that you obtain a court order confirming your agreement and also detailing your contact with the child once the child moves abroad. Once the court order has been made, a "mirror" order should be obtained from a court in the EU country that the child is moving to, as once the child moves abroad, any issues regarding the child would be dealt with by a court in the country where the child lives and not by a court. You will need a lawyer in the country that your child is moving to, to deal with this. Although this can be expensive and time consuming, if your ex later reneges on the agreement you will find it much easier to deal with this issue in the foreign court as there will be a formal record of the arrangements that were agreed. What if you do not agree? If you do not agree to your child moving abroad, your ex will need to apply to court and ask the court to make an order agreeing to her request. Every case of this nature is fact specific, so it is important that you obtain specialist legal advice so that you present your case in the best possible light to the judge. If the judge does agree to the child moving abroad, they will usually insist that the court order include details of the time that the child will spend with you. You will then be advised to obtain a "mirror" order in the country that the child is moving to. If your ex takes the child abroad permanently without your consent, this is technically parental child abduction and there are international legal agreements between Britain and the other EU countries, which would hopefully facilitate the return of the child to this country. If this happens you must contact a specialist lawyer immediately as it is important that an application is made to court as soon as possible for the child's return. Once the child has been returned, the English court will have to decide if it is appropriate for the child to move abroad permanently with your ex.
If you are separated from your child's, there will inevitably be many issues that arise regarding your child. Hopefully you will be able to deal with these between you, but if not it is important that you obtain the advice of a specialist family lawyer, which will then enable you to consider the best way forward for you and your child.
