EU-ARAB SPRING: Statewatch Analysis: The Arab Spring and the death toll in the Mediterranean: the true face of Fortress Europe (pdf) by Marie Martin:

"Throughout the uprisings in North Africa, the EU has maintained a discourse of double standards: supporting calls for freedom and democracy but greeting resulting population displacement with hostility. This has contributed to a record number of people dying at Europe’s borders during the first seven months of 2011."
