'No-one intends to go peacefully'
Greece is preparing to deport hundreds of migrants back to Turkey today. Their deportations from the islands of Chios and Lesbos is part of a deal between Turkey and the European Union to stem the flow of migrants to Europe. Under the deal, migrants arriving illegally in Greece will be sent back to Turkey if they do not apply for asylum or if their claim is rejected. But questions remain as to how the arrangement is going to be implemented. Electra Koutra is a Greek asylum lawyer working with refugees in the camps in Greece:
