The European Parliament must intervene to stop violence, the use of force and human rights violations at the EU-Turkey border (change.org, link):
"We call on the European Parliament and the political groups representing the EU citizens to stop violence and the use of force against defenseless people at the EU-Turkey border and to restore legality and respect for human rights, firstly the right of asylum.
