Greek coastguard denies claims refugee boat capsized after tow rope attachedUN calls for urgent action to prevent further tragedies as police believe up to 500 people remain missingOfficials denied reports that the heavily overcrowded boat could have flipped because a rope was attached to it by coastguards, and rejected criticism for not acting earlier after it emerged that a coastguard vessel escorted the boat – which set sail from Tobruk in Libya on 10 June – for hours.After initially saying a coastguard vessel had kept its distance, a government spokesperson said on Friday that a rope was used. Ilias Siakantaris said the coastguard had “used a rope to steady themselves, to approach, to see if they wanted any help”, but insisted there was no attempt to tow the boat or tie the coastguard vessel to it.“They refused it, they said, ‘No help, we go to Italy’ and continued on their way,” Siakarantis told Greek television. A coastguard spokesperson, Nikos Alexiou, said: “We chose to mind the vessel from a distance and that is why we reacted so fast.”
