On the Greek island of Lesbos in the Aegean Sea, one of the entry points for migrants and refugees seeking to reach Europe, the NGOs “MSF” said on Tuesday that three migrants and “four others” had been injured.
According to their testimonies, these individuals were beaten. A team from “MSF” discovered them after receiving “an official message regarding a group of individuals who recently arrived” to Lesbos and “require immediate treatment,” as the NGO noted in a statement.

Screams could be heard as we got closer.
22 folks were there when we got there. The coordinator of the organisation in Lesbos observed that everyone was sobbing.
“Three persons were caught with plastic pieces and severely punished. Four people were hurt, the official stated.
The migrants said in their statements that “injuries occurred from the violence of a group of people who fled the site before” the staff of the organisation showed up.
The NGO said that “it took the injured to the hospital to continue their care” and “it immediately informed the police of this event.”
On this incidence, the Greek government has not yet made any remarks.
MSF called on the Greek authorities to “take all necessary measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents and ensure that people receive a safe reception and protect and measures asylum.
Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) that fight for human rights and the media have accused Greece of abusing migrants and refugees and expelling individuals who enter its borders from Turkey on their way to Western Europe.
The traditionalist Greek government has consistently refuted these allegations, stating that it has a responsibility to protect the “security of its borders, which are also the frontiers of the European Union” in the eastern Mediterranean.
The number of immigrants travelling to Greece has decreased “significantly,” according to the Greek Minister of Immigration Note Metarakhi.
In Greek Lesbos, migrants can be found.
