[01] Mass break-out from Moria hotspot, fires set, on rumours of forced
returns to Turkey
Rumours that mass returns to Turkey were imminent on Monday prompted
renewed incidents and a break-out from the Moria hotspot in Lesvos.
About 300 migrants escaped the hotspot and attempted to set off on a
protest march to Mytilene, the island's main town, but were stopped and
forced to turn back by police. On their way back, fires broke out in
olive groves south and north of the camp, which the fire brigade was
called in to put out.
According to the latest reports, the situation within the camp was calm,
though some camp residents refused to accept food in protest against
living conditions in the camp.
