Greece: people gather in Athens in support of migrants on World Refugee Day

Description

Hundreds of people gather in Athens to show their support for migrants and refugees on World Refugee Day, one of several events organised in the Greek capital to send a message of solidarity around the world. The policy of Greece's conservative government, which was voted in nearly a year ago, is to make the country a "less attractive" destination to migrants. There are around 120,000 of them in the country today. IMAGES
