INVITATION - LOCAL COORDINATION FOR REFUGEE AND MIGRANT SUPPORT LESVOS 

2 years after the EU-Turkey deal came into force, we invite you to join us for a demonstration outside Moria camp. On 17 March, people will come together all over the world to show solidarity with refugees and migrants who are imprisoned, who are mistreated and tortured, and who lost their lives as a result of EU’s dirty anti-migration deals. We will demonstrate outside Moria against the EU-Turkey deal, which has turned Lesvos into a prison island. The living conditions in Moria camp are inhumane and unacceptable. We demand to open the islands and to have adequate reception on the mainland for refugees, outside of detention facilities.

Solidarity groups and organisations call for urgent action as winter is coming for refugees in Greece

Over 40 solidarity groups and organisations are calling for urgent action from the Greek local and national authorities to prevent more refugees from dying in the cold as winter sets in once again. They expect more groups and organisations to join them over the next days and weeks.

Several places woke up on Thursday 12 October to find their neighbourhoods plastered with the emblematic picture of Moria camp on Lesvos, covered in snow last winter, while the collective has also launched a campaign on social media with the hashtag #opentheislands.

Το ντοκιμαντέρ αναφέρεται στη ζωή μιας μητέρας πρόσφυγα από τη Συρία. Βρίσκεται στο camp στη Μόρια μαζί με τα τρία της παιδιά. Το ένα από αυτά αντιμετωπίζει σοβαρά ψυχολογικά προβλήματα, κάτι που δυσκολεύει την ήδη δύσκολη ζωή τους εδώ. Ο σύζυγός της  βρίσκεται ήδη στη Γερμανία, όπου θέλει να καταλήξει και η ίδια με τα παιδιά της.
