From From the Greek Streets:
Riot police on tour across the Peloponnese flatten to the ground Roma camps in at least four prefectures
Riot police squads that arrived from Athens have been conducting
operations against the Roma population across the Peloponnese for the
past few days. On Monday, the riot police flattened Roma camps in the
Corinth prefecture, before moving to Messinia (and its capital,
Kalamata) on Tuesday and then operating further in the prefectures of
Argolida and Arkadia on Wednesday.
Astonishingly, the official police report on the operations talks of the “tackling” and the “prevention” of
crime as the reasons why the Roma houses came under attack – an open
and direct racist attack against them. On Tuesday alone, 623 Roma were
detained of which 84 were arrested, while 14 homes in total were
flattened. The numbers for the other days remain unknown.
