Greece Resumes Migrant Deportations

(LESBOS, Greece) — Amid protests, Greece Friday resumed deportations of refugees and migrants from its islands to Turkey after a four-day pause, sending back 45 people from Lesbos to a nearby port on the Turkish coast.

Before the boat left the island, four activists jumped into the sea to try to obstruct the operation — swimming to the front of the ferry and grabbing the anchor chain — and were detained by the coast guard.
