An alarm has been sounded by the Counter-Terrorism and Intelligence Agenies about the possibility of jihadists in refugee camps in the Aegean islands, but also of the danger of former ISIS fighters attempting to cross to Europe through Turkey and Greece.

Asylum seekers at the reception and identification center at the island of Samos held a protest on Thursday demanding their departure from the island, in continuation of their Wednesday protest for the same reason.

The conditions in the refugee receptions centers on the islands of Lesvos and Samos are rapidly deteriorating, as the number of refugees and illegal immigrants hosted at Moria camp rose to 15,255 in just a week from 13,070.
