Somalia: 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 morning there, witnesses told Shabelle radio on Thursday.

Reports say that demonstration came as the police forces of the Greece government entered forcibly in a house where more Somali people lived on Thursday morning and sent to the jails in that country.

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

"The police of this country arrested 200 hundred more Somalis including pregnant women. The soldiers have dealt with the Somalis brutally; they also tortured then took them with seven mini buses. We don not, we do not know the reason of the arrest," she said as she was tearing.

It is unclear the real aim that the Greece police forces arrested the Somali people in its country so far. But reports say that soldiers accused the Somali people making illegal passports which caused the more than 200 Somalis to be jailed.

There had been hundreds of detained Somalis who were in the jails which reportedly said that the police of the Greece conduct with black people with good manner.

There is no comment from the Greece government about the large complaining demonstrations made by the Somalis there.
