Special report by PEOPLE’S WORLD
TODAY is World Refugee Day. It’s been five years since the peak of the so-called European refugee crisis yet instead of improving our response to those fleeing poverty and war, Europe has only intensified its hostility.
Thousands of refugees are locked in Greek camps under Covid-19 rules, a record number of asylum-seekers are crossing the English channel in flimsy dinghies while rescue charity boats are confiscated by unscrupulous governments.
This week’s Virtual Resistance includes how you can take part in World Refugee Day from home, as well as celebrate Barac’s 10th birthday and (digitally) join campaigners in the US, Spain and Gaza.
