PIKPA kamp werd op vrijdag hardhandig ontruimd door de politie. Hoeveel politie, oproerpolitie, legervoertuigen, politiebussen heb je nodig om 74 kwetsbare mensen - waaronder 32 kinderen - uit bed te halen en op bussen te zetten? Mijn ooggetuigenverslag: https://t.co/ksDHVeQEgr

How many police and army vehicles do you need to evict dignity? #savePikpa #Pikpa

[Wies De Graeve @DeGraeveWies]

Onze reactie op opdoeken #Pikpa kamp op #Lesbos: “Onaanvaardbaar dat Griekse overheid de kwetsbare bewoners verder ontwortelt en traumatiseert, en de mensen die hen ondersteuning bieden intimideert.” #Pikpa was een voorbeeld, #Moria 2.0 is een schandvlek. https://t.co/IIDqHqQoN8

“Nu te zien hoe #PIKPA voor onze ogen wordt opgedoekt, is onbeschrijflijk schrijnend. Het is veel meer dan een opvangcentrum. Via PIKPA verdedigen we fundamentele Europese waarden zoals solidariteit, gelijkheid, waardigheid en verbinding.” zegt @CarmenDpnt die ter plaatse is.

Police operation in pikpa. Eviction ongoing. We havent been shown any papers.

[Lesvos Solidarity @Lesvosolidarity]

Evacuation of Pikpa camp, Lesvos has started. #savePikpa

[Lesvos Solidarity @Lesvosolidarity]

Huge police eviction operation still ongoing in pikpa. One resident became unwell and was taken to hospital by ambulance. Psychosocial, medical team, lawyers, interpreters still not allowed inside.

❗️❗️European Court of Human Rights calls on GR govt to respond to specific questions re the imminent closure of PIKPA and the situation of an asylum seeker and her newborn child who have applied for interim measures before the Court https://t.co/KZmWqwZ8oY @GCRefugees #savepikpa

#Moria 2.0 a #Lesbo già c'è, mentre il governo greco minaccia di chiudere una realtà che funziona e ospita i più deboli, come il centro di Pikpa. Mia intervista a @CarmenDpnt di @Lesvosolidarity per @Agenzia_Dire.

Last month Europe’s largest refugee camp burned down. Who started the fire? And what does it tell us about the EU’s dysfunctional politics on migration? A special edition of @BBCNewsnight tonight

#Pikpa steht vor Räumung, während das neue #Moria im Wasser versinkt & zeigt, dass „Geflüchtete auch in einer würdevollen Umgebung untergebracht werden können“, @CarmenDpnt.
Eine Alternative für Schutzsuchende, die es in Abschreckungsarchitektur an #EU-Grenzen nicht geben darf.

🛑POSTPONEMENT OF EVICTION OF PIKPA CAMP: The Ministry of Labour communicated to us that for now the eviction of Pikpa is postponed. We are waiting for written confirmation. The struggle is not over but today we are celebrating this small victory! Solidarity will win!!#savepikpa

[Eva Cossé @Eva_Cosse]

A storm just went through the new camp on Lesbos - Moria 2.0 - and this is how conditions look. At the same time, @nmitarakis is rushing to shut down PIKPA, a safe haven for #RefugeesGR on #Lesbos, hosting some of the most vulnerable ppl on the island.

#SavePikpa #SaveDignity

[Eleonora Cavallari @ele85ele]

@nmitarakis: richiedenti asilo e #refugeesgr meritano di essere trattati con dignità. Chiudere PIKPA a #Lesbo è un errore #savepikpa #savedignity

[Begüm Başdaş @BegumBasdas]

Dear Mr. @nmitarakis

On the left, what you built.
On the right, what people in solidarity made.

Where would you like to sleep tonight?
Please let us know.

or, just #SavePikpa & #SaveDignity for all of us.

[Carmen Dupont @CarmenDpnt]

My take on things in @guardian "There seems to be a very clear agenda (...) Keeping people trapped and locked in inhumane camps in hellish conditions and at the same time, erasing and closing the dignified shelters that exist."

The shame, the shame, the endless shame. Exactly one month after the fires which destroyed #Moria camp, these are the living conditions in Moria 2.0, today under the pouring rain. Winter is around the corner. This is on all of us. #refugeesgr #savedignity

[DunyaCollective @DunyaCollective]

This video shows what's happening in the new camp #Moria2 when it rains & how ppl. try to protect the tents from rainwater. 🇬🇷 government wants to close down #SavePikpa and the old Karatepe Camp to see all refugees in such conditions: even most volnurable.

#LeaveNoOneBehind

[MSF Sea @MSF_Sea]

One month ago a fire destroyed #Moria camp.

#EU leaders promised "no more Morias", yet a new camp was built in #Lesbos and more continue to exist on other islands.

Help us to bring the voice of the people still trapped on the Greek islands.

No more means no more.

[Joe English @JoeEEnglish]

“At a time when we hear from the European Union: ‘no more Moria’, a new Moria has been built and the conditions – as far as we hear from the people inside – are worse than at the previous camp," @Lesvosolidarity's @CarmenDpnt tells @katymfallon
