(AFP) A Greek court on Saturday sentenced four Afghan asylum seekers convicted of starting fires that burnt down Europe’s largest migrant camp last year to 10 years in prison each.
The court in Chios found the defendants guilty of arson while their lawyers denounced a “lack of sense of fairness.”
No one died in the fires.
The lawyers told AFP they had immediately filed for an appeal after the sentence was handed down.
The young Afghans were taken to the court handcuffed and were expected to return to the Avlona jail outside Athens, were they were held before the trial.
