Lesbos: Greek police detain at least five protesters after arson at planned migrant camp
Euronews says Police have detained at least five people on the Greek island of Lesbos after violence broke out during a protest against plans to build a new migrant camp, authorities said on Tuesday.
Following a peaceful march to the site in heavy rain the day before, a small group of protesters set fire to earth-moving machines used by a private contractor who has started work on the 87.5 million-euro project.
The site at Plati, 30 kilometres north of the island’s capital, Mytilene, is due to be completed by September and house up to 3,000 migrants and asylum-seekers.
