Tensions flared again yesterday afternoon at the special detention facility in Sintiki, Serres.
According to the police, at around 5:20 p.m., a group of about 50 migrants housed in the facility’s third wing threw stones at police officers and attempted to damage the perimeter fence. With the intervention of the police, the situation was quickly brought under control, and no injuries or escapes were reported.
