Nine Egyptian men face trial in southern Greece for causing a shipwreck that killed hundreds of migrants. The defendants, mostly in their 20s, could face life in prison if convicted on multiple criminal charges over the sinking of the ‘Adriana’ fishing trawler. The trial raises concerns about border protection and asylum operations, with ongoing investigations into the Greek coast guard’s rescue attempt. International human rights groups argue that the defendants’ right to a fair trial may be compromised.
