[Greece]: Enet English - Private security for immigrant detention centres

A private security company will be charged with guarding the country's immigrant detention centres  in cooperation with the Greek police, Public Order Minister Nikos Dendias announced on Thursday.

In reply, main opposition Syriza issued a statement saying that “immigrants detained in Mr Dendias' concentration camps are left without soap due to 'lack of funds', yet the ministry has come up with the money to hire private security companies to guard them.”
