More Than 500 Somalis Demonstrate in Greece

More than 500 Somalis in Greece have made largely organized demonstration in Greece, just after government police forces detained more than 200 Somalis in the morning there, witnesses told Shabelle radio on Thursday.

A 50 year old Somali woman, who was taking part in the demonstrations, told Shabelle radio that she was on a voyage for at least 17 years and absent from her motherland - pointing out that they decided to be part of the demonstration against the arrest of the Somalis.

"The police of Greece arrested 200 hundred more Somalis including pregnant women. The soldiers have dealt with the Somalis brutally; they also tortured them and carried them with seven buses. We do not know the reason of the arrest," she said while she was breaking into tears.

Reports say that the demonstration was a response to actions by the police forces of the Greece government, who entered on Thursday morning forcibly into a house, where many Somali people live and sent many to the jails of that country.
