British state television has received evidence that casts doubt on the Greek coast guard's account of the tragic sinking of the refugee boat.
For the sinking of the migrant boat in Greece last Wednesday, the BBC has obtained evidence that casts doubt on the Greek coast guard.
Analysis of the movement of other vessels in the area suggests the overcrowded fishing vessel did not move for at least seven hours before capsizing.
The Coast Guard says the ship was on its way to Italy and did not require rescue.
At least 79 people are currently reported dead, but the United Nations says at least 500 are missing.
The UN has called for an investigation into Greece's handling of the disaster. Greek officials have stated that those on board did not want help and were not in danger until shortly before their ship sank.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif declared Monday a "day of mourning" for the tragedy of the sinking fishing boat. Many Pakistanis are suspected to have died in the sinking, although the exact number has yet to be officially confirmed.
Sharif also formed a commission to investigate the incident and ordered the police to trace those involved in human trafficking. Most of the missing migrants were from Azad Kashmir and Gujarat, according to their Pakistani family members.
