- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
An alarm was raised by security services of Rhodes concerning the illegal entry into the country of 18 Turkish nationals who have applied for political asylum as being persecuted by the Erdogan government.
More specifically, at 6:10 on Monday morning, 18 Turkish nationals were identified in the Siana area, who are reportedly educators. Of these, 11 are men, 3 women and 4 children. A file was opened against them for illegal entry into the country, and they will begin proceedings to file an asylum claim, as they state Erdogan has prosecuted them.
All of them are detained on the island of Rhodes, and it is likely they will be transferred to Athens soon.
