“The conditions in the detention centers are not simply bad, they are beyond human definition,” said Ioanna Pertsinidou, a social worker in Greece with aid organization Medecins Sans Frontieres. “There are a number of things that can stick in your mind, but the worst thing is to have people packed like animals in a cage.”
Wow. Humans. In cages! Like animals! That's horrible! Right?
But for one fact, this could be a big deal in the global "human rights" community:
Human Rights Watch said in a Dec. 6 report that detention centers in northern Greece violate international law. Women and children are forced to share crowded cells with men, and unsanitary conditions and unusable toilet facilities mean migrants use nearby fields, it said.
Oh, in Greece. Never mind.
You'd think European "human rights" activists would pay more attention to this. But it isn't Guantanamo Bay, so never mind.
But hey, perhaps we could volunteer to house some of those refugees at Gitmo. You know, so they'd get humane treatment.
