A judge dropped the trial against nine Egyptian men accused of causing a shipwreck that killed hundreds of migrants in the Mediterranean last year in Greece, citing lack of jurisdiction.
Lawyers from Greek human rights groups representing the men argued that their arrest was based on limited and inadequately translated testimonies, requesting the court to declare itself incompetent due to the incident occurring outside Greek waters.
Human Rights Watch expressed concern over a potential verdict based on incomplete evidence, highlighting the risk faced by the survivors in being wrongly accused following a preliminary investigation into the authorities' actions.
