European patriots have started attacking boats carrying nonwhite invaders while still at sea in the crossing between Turkey and Greece, the far left “Human Rights Watch” (HRW) organization has claimed.

According to a report on the HRW website, nine witnesses described eight incidents in which masked European patriots—often armed with M-4 style weapons—intercepted and disabled the boats carrying nonwhite invaders from Turkey toward the Greek islands.

The invaders said that the patriots “deliberately disabled their boats by damaging or removing the engines or their fuel, or puncturing the hulls of inflatable boats.”

In some cases, the HRW report said, the boats were towed to Turkish waters. A 17-year-old nonwhite invader from Afghanistan, using the name Ali, told HRW that their boat had taken off eight hours earlier for Lesbos from the Turkish shore at Assos, packed with men, women, and children.

Some 30 minutes into their journey, a speedboat suddenly rammed their rubber dinghy. On board were five men dressed in black, their faces covered with balaclavas, armed with handguns.

“At first when they approached, we thought they had come to help us,” Ali told Human Rights Watch. “But by the way they acted, we realized they hadn’t come to help. They were so aggressive. They didn’t come on board our boat, but they took our boat’s engine and then sped away.”

The masked men attacked three other boats in quick succession before speeding off toward the Greek coast, Ali said. The boats were packed with invaders from Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq.

The men wore no insignia on their black clothing. “They spoke a language we didn’t know, but it definitely was not Turkish, as we Afghans can understand a bit of Turkish,” Ali said.

Ali said a Turkish coast guard boat approached and took the three women and six children from the rubber dinghy, promising to return for the men on board. But the Turkish coast guard did not return.

Invaders on a second boat with Afghans that arrived in Lesbos the next day confirmed to HRW that they were on one of the other three other boats attacked on the previous day.

In two instances, the invaders described seeing the boat with the masked men being lowered from a bigger ship. In three of the cases HRW documented, the invaders interviewed said they had seen the Greek flag on the boat carrying the masked men.

In six cases, invaders said the masked men disabled or removed the engine or its fuel. In two cases, the masked men punctured the boat. In three other cases, they towed the invaders back toward the Turkish coast. In four cases, the HRW claimed, the drivers of the invader boats were beaten.

Footage broadcast by CBS 8 shows what appears to be an attack on a boat by unidentified masked men. In the video, a CBS reporter says they witnessed attacks on six boats carrying migrants and asylum seekers that day.

On October 10, a rubber boat carrying Afghans arrived on Lesbos. Invaders confirmed that they had been on one of four boats attacked the previous day. A 38-year-old Afghan invader said:

About one hour and 15 minutes after we set off from Turkey, there was a boat that came that we believe it was Greek. It was a grey plastic boat, a Zodiac, like a police boat and very fast. The men on board were all dressed in all-black military clothes and boots that had no insignia on them. We couldn’t see their faces because they were all masked. They were armed with pistols and very aggressive and they came right up to our boat. They cut the fuel line going to the engine, and took the cables. They broke the engine, and they hit me with the motor cable. When they were finished, they set off for the coast of Greece. They attacked four boats, us and three other ones. I speak Turkish, I lived in Turkey for two years, and I know they didn’t speak Turkish.

Hassan (pseudonym), a 27-year-old invader interviewed by HRW in Turkey on October 10, said that at midday October 7, masked men punctured their boat and beat its passengers.

Hassan, who was driving the boat, said he had been “severely beaten.” He said the Turkish coast guard first stopped their boat carrying him and 22 other people: “I couldn’t understand exactly what they were saying, but they were telling us not to go where the big European ship was, that they would harm us.”

He said the Turkish coast guard tried to block their way, but he kept going around them and subsequently got away:

Then we came to the European boat. It was big and headed toward us. They pointed an automatic rifle at me…. Then a small boat came down from the big boat. There were four men in the small boat all dressed in black, black ski masks that showed only their eyes and mouth and even black gloves. They were armed with big knives strapped to their legs and with plastic police batons. They spoke some language that I couldn’t recognize. They were telling us to go back. They were masked the whole time.

The men, who had identified Hassan as the driver, took him into their boat and beat him.

They kicked me all over my body and hit me everywhere with the police sticks. One tried to break my arm by pulling it back. I was unarmed and did not try to fight or resist them. They continued beating me for about 10 minutes…. I thought they were going to kill me. Then they ordered me to drive the rubber boat back to Turkey.

The men followed Hassan as he drove the boat back to Turkey. As they approached Turkish territorial waters, one of the men pulled out his big knife and punctured their boat. “I thought he was going to kill me, but instead he punctured the boat,” Hassan said. “He punctured it one time. Other passengers put their hands over the hole to try to keep all the air from leaking out.” Hassan said he couldn’t identify the boat or the masked men.

Mahmoud (pseudonym), a 55-year-old invader who was on the same boat but who was interviewed separately, gave a similar account. He said the big ship had four flags:

At the top was a Greek flag, then the EU, then two other flags I didn’t recognize…. The ship had something written in blue letters that I couldn’t read…. They tried to hit me on the head, but I ducked and they missed. They were beating for 15 or 20 minutes. They were beating everyone, not distinguishing, even women and children…. We were in Greek waters at the time…. After they pulled us to Turkish waters they punctured our boat…. Everyone survived. It was horrible. The small fast boat made circles around us to make waves to make water go in our boat. We used our hats to try to bail water out of the boat.

A 22-year-old invader claiming to be from Syria, Iyad, described a similar incident from September 7, when interviewed in Athens on September 15. He said the boat he was on, heading to the Greek island of Chios with 47 other invaders, was intercepted by a boat. Iyad said three of the men wore masks and one man’s face was uncovered:

We were three kilometers from Chios island. Then [a boat] came…. They asked us to say ‘Thanks Greece, fuck the Turks.’ Then they said, ‘We are going to help you. There is a boat that will arrive. We will get you all in and take you to Greece.’ But they tied our boat with a rope and pulled us back to Turkish waters. And then, when they released us, they said, ‘Wait five minutes here and the boat will arrive.’ But we were in the Turkish waters so we started again our engine.

Shortly after that, the same boat carrying masked men crossed again in front of the invader boat. The men pulled their guns out and one of them, holding a stick, came above them and started hitting people, Iyad said.

“He beat everyone [on the boat] up, and even some people were bleeding. One of us had his head open and his face was full of blood. And one other had two broken fingers. They took the engine from the boat and they tried to tie our boat. We said no and they pointed their M4s [guns] at us.” Iyad said he recognized the weapon from Syria.

Iyad said that the boat had a Greek flag and Greek lettering, and that the men were wearing uniforms, with black trousers and light blue shirts with “C.I.B.” in white letters on the shirt. It is unclear what C.I.B. might refer to.

They took the engine with them on their boat and they pulled us again to Turkey. They told us, “Nobody tries to destroy the boat because we are not going to save you.” Then they came again, and turned around us making waves. They were doing circles around our boat making big waves.

Iyad said the waves pushed them to a small deserted island before the Turkish coast guard picked them up. “We stayed on the boat, with the waves, for three hours and then on the island from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m…. At the end, the Turkish coast guard came and brought us to Izmir. They took our passports and we stayed from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the coast guard station there.”

On September 6, HRW interviewed Ahmed (a pseudonym), a 42-year-old invader also claiming to be a Syrian, who said that at a half-hour past midnight on July 20, he left Izmir by boat, heading toward Lesbos.

At around 2 a.m., a boat with four masked men with spotlights, knives, and batons sped toward them and halted their progress. The boat carrying the masked men was a small, dark-colored powerboat. “They started shouting at us, cursing words like ‘shut up, you shit,’” Ahmed said.

Ahmed said the masked men were wearing dark clothes with a crest on their jackets and speaking a language among themselves that he did not understand. “They looked like ISIS militants with their black masks,” Ahmed said. “We were scared. We tried to talk to them in English but they kept telling us to shut up.”

The masked men parked their powerboat at the rear of Ahmed’s boat, removed its fuel tank and tried to destroy its engine: “When they couldn’t break the engine down with their baton, they cut the cords of the engine instead. Then they dragged us back towards the Turkish coast and left us in the middle of the sea.”

Ahmed said they called the hotline for the Turkish coast guard and at around 3:30 a.m., a helicopter located them at sea. About an hour later, the Turkish coast guard came, picked them up, and returned them to Izmir.

In a separate interview on September 6, someone claiming to be Ahmed’s 15-year-old daughter, Sadra, who was on another boat with other relatives, told HRW that at around 9 a.m. on September 1, a gray boat carrying four masked men stopped her and the approximately 40 other invaders on board.

Only one of the four men spoke to us in English; the rest did not speak at all. They also did not communicate with one another in a different language. The man started shouting at us, “Shut up. Go back to where you came from.” Another masked man hit one of the drivers with a stick.

The masked men cut the engine wires:

I tried to figure out our location using GPS and to get in touch with the Turkish coast guard to rescue us, but in the meantime, some of the people on board the boat managed to fix the wiring of the engine. Some of the people wanted to proceed toward Greece; others wanted to return to Turkey. Ultimately, people were scared that the masked men would return and abuse us further, or even worse, kill us. So we decided to return to Turkey.

Sadra could not identify any of the masked men. She said that only one spoke in English and that there were no crests, signs, or flags on their clothing or boat.

Muhammad (pseudonym), a 21-year-old also claiming to be a Syrian, interviewed on September 7 on Lesbos as part of a group, said that after he and his friend Yezem (pseudonym) had attempted to cross to Greece through the Greek-Turkish land border, where he said Greek border guards pushed them back, they tried twice by sea. They succeeded the fourth time. In their first attempt at sea, on July 14, Muhammad said a boat stopped in front of their boat and two other rubber boats carrying invaders, 45 meters from the Greek coast. Muhammad told us he saw a smaller rubber boat with masked men being lowered from the ship:

[T]hey came to us. They took the fuel from all the rubber boats in order to not have any fuel to continue and then they put ropes on the rubber boats and they pulled us…. They put us in an island between Greece and Turkey, where nobody lives…. We were 130 people.

They gave us some water. We thought that they brought us to Mytilene [the Lesbos capital], but they put us to that island. I was disappointed. Most of the group was women and kids. We don’t deserve what we faced. All this time in the sea and then they pushed us back.

Muhammad said that the group who intercepted them had about 10 people, including one woman. All except the woman had their faces covered. They were wearing black uniforms and were holding M16 guns. Muhammad said the boat was gray, with a Greek flag.

In their second attempt, 10 days after Eid al-Fitr, at the end of July Muhammad said, people who looked similar stopped them at around 11 a.m. and punctured their boat:

They put their boat in the water and were chasing us. They couldn’t reach [the driver] so they took a knife and slashed the boat. But it’s a special rubber boat. Every 50 centimeters it has its own compartment [for air] and the rest is safe. Water was coming in but not a lot. It was not dangerous. We managed to go fast to the Turkish side.

The HRW report then continued to recount a number of episodes on land, where masked European patriots, also dressed in black, had physically repelled the nonwhite invaders.

According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), a record 56,000 nonwhite invaders penetrated Greece in the six days from October 18 to 23, the highest weekly total ever, an indication that the invasion of Europe is speeding up dramatically.
