New concrete walls are being built around migrant camps in mainland Greece. The project is part of a government plan to modernize facilities, but there is strong opposition to the changes.
16-year-old Parwana Amiri fled Afghanistan and arrived on the Greek island of Lesbos in September 2019. Today she lives in the Ritsona migrant camp near Athens. Until a few weeks ago, she had no idea that she was soon to be cut off from the world by a three-meter-high concrete perimeter wall. I woke up as usual and got ready to go to my class, says a May 4 entry on Amiri s blog post, Letters from Ritsona . As I walked along, I noticed some bulldozers and many workers working by the back gate, constructing something… They told me that they were going to build a wall all around the camp.
