Reelnews reports: “It’s still like being in a war zone – Immigrants in Greece”

Follow Reelnews for one new film from their excellent reporting from the ground in Greece every Sunday

Refugees trying to reach safety in Europe get stuck in Greece: Once in Europe, they have to remain in the country they first arrived in. They speak about lack of basic support like housing, clothing and food and daily racist abuse. Not only by fascists like Golden Dawn, but also Greek people – and the police.

This is a first glimpse into an issue that we are working on. We have just returned from a second visit to Greece and heard many stories and witnessed some of the conditions people face in Athens, including a vicious racist attack. Check back for more, and follow us on facebook and twitter to stay up to date.

    I’m Greek. I’m far from being racist or whatever…
    Sure golden dawn is a shame for my country.
    Greece was a peaceful and beautiful country back to 80′s
    Then they start coming and coming. Alban mafia, Russia mafia, rapes and kills everyday from ILEGAL immigrants from Pakistan and other Asian and African countries. We don’t have sources to feed them and gave them jobs. We can’t feed our family with new economy measures.
    30% of Greeks lost their jobs the last 3 years. Just saying…
