Basically, the decision to keep a small number of the millions of immigrants locked in these camps is simply a publicity stunt designed to dissuade people from supporting the Golden Dawn.

This camp has less than 700 people in it, and there are probably 3 million of these savages roaming the streets of Athens.

Still, I can’t help but smile a bit at this.

Enet:

Migrants being held in one of the Greece’s largest detention camps have commenced a hunger strike in protest at a recent ministerial order that effectively allows the authorities to prolong their incarceration indefinitely.

The protest began on Monday at the detention centre in the city of Corinth, about an hour south of Athens. Local sources say the population of the camp, housed in a former military barracks, is 681 people. About 130 to 200 detainees are believed to be participating in the strike.

In a statement (see below) issued on the day they started refusing food, the protesters said: “With the systematic and open end detention the Greek government is massacring us. They are wasting our lives and killing our dreams and hopes inside the prisons. All of that while none of us has committed any crime. Most of us are have severe health problems: both physical and psychological. Specially those who stayed already more that 18 months are in a devastating state and desperately need support.”

The detainees were picked up by police during the so-called Xenios Zeus sweep operation, launched in the summer of 2012. By June 2013 – the most recent period for which government statistics are available – police stopped and took to a police station almost 124,000 people of foreign origin. Only 6,910 – 5.6% – were found to be in Greece unlawfully. In some cases, that meant being unable to renew a work permit because of temporary unemployment. Many of those have spent months in detention for not having correct paperwork. They have not been charged with any crimes.

In an audio recording uploaded to YouTube by anti-racism group Keerfa, one of the protesters says detainees are being kept in deplorable conditions, suffer ill-treatment from police officers and guards and are being kept for more than 18 months in detention. The male voice says:

We say “good morning” and they [the police/guards] say “motherfucker, faggot”
We are human, too!
We don’t have clean food nor clean water here … nothing
We are human, not sheep ….
It’s very difficult, we’ll continue this strike until we get out.
If you don’t let us free, we will die inside.
If we don’t have that, we will stay inside to die …

“We are human too”?

Whoever told you that?

You are free to be human in your own countries. You are free to be a prisoner or a starved corpse in Greece.
