During the last 3 years greece is not just the border guard of europe. It became a graveyard and prison for migrants. The system of detention expanded radically from 2012, when thousands of migrants arrested after a huge police pogrom, having the cynical name Operation “Xenios Zeus”, the ancient greek god of hospitality. New container camps were built and old military camps transformed to detention camps. Parallel to this, the legal framework changed rapidly: the maximum period of detention for migrants without papers increased form 3 to 18 months. From now on, according to the recent recommendation of the Legal Council of the State, detention of illegalized migrants can be unlimited.
During the last 3 years, the dominant policies do not just use the migrants as scapegoats. Racism and exclusion of rights are in the center of the crisis management and the policies of fear. Prisons expanded not only to detain migrants: not by incidence drug addicts were also temporary brought to the same detention camps. From now on the subject of repression and fear expanded from the migrants to other social groups and especially to anyone who resists the authoritarian crisis regime.
Since June 9th hundreds of migrants in the detention camp of Corinth started a hunger strike for their freedom.
On Sunday 15th of June the Open Initiative against Detention Centers, antiracist and antifascist initiatives from Corinth, will demonstrate in solidarity with the hunger strikers and for the closure of all the detention camps.
