On July 18, 2017, migrants in the Moriah camp went on protest against the awful conditions that continue to prevail. The cops attacked them and the protest ended in beatings and arrests.
35 people were arrested (all of them of African origin) without any evidence or criteria, except for the color of their skin. They are charged for: (a) Arson by intent from which a hazard may arise for a person, jointly. (b) Dangerous physical harm, attempted as well as executed to the detriment of police and fire brigade officers, jointly and repeatedly. (c) Damage in form of arson of foreign ownership and of an object that serves a common benefit, jointly and repeatedly. (d) Resistance performed by more than one person, who had their faces covered and carried potentially dangerous objects. 30 of them are imprisoned in the prisons of Avlona, Korydallos and Chios, where they will be detained until their trial, which will take place on April 20, 2018. In addition, two more migrants are detained on similar charges (for a revolt that took place in Moria on July 10, 2017) and will be tried on May 11, 2018. Eight more migrants are detained in various prisons around the country, on heavy charges and will go on trial on April 27, 2018, because a year ago and after months of detention they dared to ask how long they would remain in administrative detention at Petrou Ralli.
