Nine migrants say they were deliberately thrown into the water by Greek coastguard.
More than 40 people are alleged to have died as a result of being forced out of Greek territorial waters, or taken back out to sea after reaching Greek islands.
The Greek government has long been accused of forced returns - pushing people back towards Turkey , where they have crossed from, which is illegal under international law.
In 15 incidents we analysed - dated May 2020-23 - resulted in 43 deaths.
Human rights groups allege thousands of people seeking asylum in Europe have been illegally forced back from Greece to Turkey and denied the right to seek asylum.
Greek law allows all migrants seeking asylum to register their claim on several of the islands at special registration centres.
But our interviewees said they were apprehended before they could get to these centres.
They said these men would be apparently operating undercover - non-uniformed, and often masked.
