Attack on the structure of unaccompanied minors of the Church of Greece in Oreokastro

An attack on the accommodation structure for unaccompanied refugees operating under the auspices of the Church of Greece took place on Saturday night, in Oreokastro, Thessaloniki.

According to the structure’s lawyer, Thodoris Karagiannis, unknown persons congregated outside the area with knives, sticks and iron bars, initially shouting “racist”, as he called them, slogans and then tried to invade the place where the refugee children are staying.

On Monday, as Mr. Karagiannis said, an accusation will be presented to the competent prosecutor’s office. “We must all protect minors from people who incite hatred and propaganda with a plan and are not afraid to use violence that endangers the lives of children between 12 and 15 years old,” he said.
