POLICE officers raided two refugee squats in central Athens in the early hours of this morning, evicting over 250 people, including roughly 70 children, from their homes in the city centre.
The central neighbourhood of Exarcheia has long been home to the city’s undocumented migrant population who have lived there with the support of anarchist activists for years.
Video footage after the raid showed police bundling the migrants onto buses where they will reportedly be sent to migrant camps out of the city.
