(AFP) A Greek court has jailed two Afghan youths for five years for starting a fire that burnt down Europe’s largest migrant camp last year on the island of Lesbos, lawyers said on Wednesday.
The Lesbos court handed down the sentences late on Tuesday after a six-hour session, the local bar association told AFP.
Two consecutive fires in September destroyed the Moria camp on Lesbos, where migrants had been held in squalid conditions for years.
Nearly 13,000 people including families with young children, pregnant women and older people were left sleeping on roadsides for days until another tent camp could be erected.
