An Irish humanitarian assisting migrants in the Mediterranean has urged the Greek Supreme Court to dismiss arguments he should face a new trial for alleged crimes, such as espionage and forgery.

Kerry-raised Sean Binder and Syrian human rights worker Sarah Mardini, a refugee herself, were arrested in 2018 while in Greece helping migrants who had travelled across the Mediterranean.
