In Greece, a number of refugees organized a peaceful protest on Wednesday 15-11, against their difficult conditions and the slow processing of refugee files in Vial refugee camp, located on the Greek Island of Chios.
One of the refugee told AGPS’s reporter that the Greek police tried to prevent the immigrants from gathering and confiscating the leaflets explaining the demands of the refugees, adding that the police detained the organizers of the protest for four hours, before releasing them.
The refugees and organizers of the protest condemned the arbitrary action of preventing them and the police’s illegal treatment of the refugees, considering the police’s action as intimidating, to prevent the refugees from carrying out other protests that would put pressure on the Greek government, in order to improve their miserable situation.
The refugees on the Greek islands are suffering from difficult conditions, amid the overcrowding of the camps, the lack of sufficient space and the delays in their asylum procedures, as well as the fear of not improving their conditions and transferring them to the European countries of asylum.
