British television network Channel 4 has filmed Turkish coastguard attacking a boat carrying refugees and trying to push it back to the Greek territorial waters.
Journalist Alex Thomson posted on Twitter a footage of the exclusive story to be broadcast on Channel 4 showing a Turkish ship attacking a boat full of refugees and immigrants.
According to Thomson’s tweets, more than 20 men, including five women and 15 children, were on the boat when a Turkish ship patrolling the area noticed the boat and tried to capsize it with full-throttle broadside wake.
