Fortress Europe Greek Embassy protest

Greek Embassy, London. Sat 7 Mar 2020



 The protest opposite the Greek Embassy in Holland Park had been going on for almost an hour when I arrived

 A Syrian woman holds her painting she has brought to the protest

 The Greek Coastguards have been attacking boats carrying refugees from Turkey to the Greek islands,

 attempting to capsize their boats. Killing Refugees Is A Heinous Crime as the placard states

 Europe as a whole has failed the refugees, particularly those fleeing from Syria. Protests call for open borders.

 and for safe passage for refugees.

 Europe has room for refugees

 

 Some had posters in Greek

 

 'This is About Humanity' - or rather the lack of it by European countries

 

 'Stop Treating Refugees as Criminals'

 A Syrian from the Free Syria campaign speaks

 and people shout towards the Greek Embassy

 'Open the Borders Now'
