EU faces humanitarian crisis

The human rights defenders claim that the threatening situation with dozens thousand illegal immigrants and people seeking refuge in Greece may become the reason for the crisis.

Amnesty International underlines horrible conditions of living of the refugees, long delays in registration of applications for refuge, and increase of race-based violence.

The HR defenders recall the incident when a ship from Turkey with Syrian refugees aboard was purposefully drowned by the Greek police. According to ВВС, the people had to swim to the shore. The upheaval of attacks on migrants to Greece coincided with the growth of popularity of the local ultra-right party "Golden Sunrise".
