lego 44,165 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Right-wing fascist group Golden Dawn attacked refugees and set fire to Souda camp on Chios island on Wednesday night. According to eyewitnesses, approximately sixty members of the group descended on the camp around 01:00, launching a series of flares and throwing large rocks before setting fire to several tents. The group reportedly entered the camp through its entrances on either end and attacked some of the camp’s 1,000+ residents. Refugees and volunteers posted videos online depicting the significant size of the rocks, which were thrown from above and tore through the canvas of the UNHCR tents as refugees slept inside. Several refugees were taken to the hospital as a result of the attack, including one pregnant woman and one man whose skull was fractured after being struck by a rock. Members of the group then allegedly set fire to one of the large rubhalls in Souda’s center and blocked the camp exits. Videos of the fire posted online show chaos and panic throughout the camp as refugees, including many families with babies and young children, tried to escape to safety. http://m.huffpost.com/ca/entry/13053790?

lego 44,165 Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Riot police arrived on scene and used tear gas and flares in an attempt to quell the confrontation. However, tweets from volunteers on the ground reported that riot police did little to restrain members of Golden Dawn and instead became violent with refugees. Several reports of police brutality have emerged. One refugee providing updates via Facebook in real time said police had “stormed the tents and started beating refugees and arresting people randomly.” FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police and Golden Dawn are often seen working together. They even create "fake" riots they blame on leftists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
