In the article you cited it is not about helping refugees, but about the WAY they were helping refugees.
Of course you can argue that the laws violated are stupid or inhumane. But in a democratic country like Greece you’ll have a hard time. The laws are generally a result of balancing different interests, here refugees fleeing from a very unpleasant life in Turkey and there EU tax payers having to pay for their integration for the next few years.
You can disagree and if caught happily pay the price (after all, why not go to jail for some time to save a few humans).
