Protesting asylum seekers in Moria claim they are exposed to coronavirus, ask to be moved
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Claiming that they are "exposed to the coronavirus", asylum seekers at the reception and identification centre for refugees in migrants in Moria Lesvos, on Wednesday staged a protest outside the entrance of the hotspot.
The protestors, who are mostly from African countries, are demanding for 'justice for all' and want to be moved off the island to avoid repercussions from the spread of the coronavirus in the hotspot, which they say means "death for all".
The movement of approximately 1,500 people belonging to groups most vulnerable to Covid-19, such as the elderly or those with underlying ailments, who will be sent to the Greek mainland, is already planned for this Saturday.
Officially, as of April 22, there is a total of 18,500 people staying in and around Moria.
