AN NGO that supports refugees in Turkey is appealing for financial help after a donor withdrew a promise of funding following unconfirmed reports that the Greek authorities are investigating its activities.
Austrian charity Josoor said today that it had previously received a written offer of urgently needed funds to carry out its humanitarian work in Turkey from an organisation it preferred not to name.
However, the organisation rescinded the offer this week and told Josoor that while it was “aware of the situation around NGO criminalisation in Greece and elsewhere … we are unable to offer you a grant."
