I’m going to make something VERY clear with everyone.
THERE ARE NO CONCENTRATION CAMPS IN GREECE.
AND TRANS* PEOPLE ARE BEING ARRESTED ONLY IN THESSALONIKI, NOT ALL OF GREECE.
Apparently all this started with this article which became famous on tumblr. It has a lot of misinformation. The immigration detention centres are not concentration camps. The people there are in the country illegally and are therefore illegal immigrants, so they are in fact breaking the law. But the conditions are not as bad as people are making them out to be. They are provided with decent shelter, clothes, food, and other things until they are either deported or the issues with their papers are fixed.
And then there’s also this article from the same source, which is quickly becoming unreliable. First off, of course they are going to arrest drug users. It is against the law, and when you do something against the law, you get arrested. But they’re being sent to rehab facilities, so they are actually getting help. And sex workers are being “forced” to take STD tests so they can protect both themselves and their clients.
There’s a lot of misinformation going around the internet about Greece. Spreading this information without checking the facts is an insult to both the Greek government and its citizens.
So next time, please, get your facts right.
