A group of Berlin artists-activists, known as the Center for Political Beauty, are using the bodies of drowned migrants to shame German leaders into doing more to prevent the deaths of desperate people from the Middle East and North Africa who are seeking refuge in Europe, Deutsche Welle reported.
On Tuesday, the CPB held funerals and buried Syrian-Palestinian refugees in Berlin after members had dug up and trucked their bodies from grave sites in Greece and Italy.
"It is the really sad and sinister reality that it is actually easier to reach the heart of Europe dead than it is to reach it alive," CPB spokesman Justus Lenz told VICE News. "We are drawing attention to it to change it."
