Europe – Syrian refugees attacked by police

Syrian people who survived years of brutal civil war, finally escaping into Turkey, who then crossed the sea to Greece in rubber dinghies, are now stuck in freezing unhealthy camps on the border between Greece and Macedonia. The EU has just resolved to begin deporting them back to Turkey. Macedonia has erected razor wire fences on its borders. When the refugees protested, the Macedonian police shot tear gas, rubber bullets and stun grenades into the refugee camp, causing injuries to men, women and children. This is the latest development in the policy of humanitarian democratic Europe towards refugees.
