Meanwhile in Athens, this year and last,
“…police powers to conduct identity checks to verify the legal status of individuals
presumed to be irregular migrants…[in 7 months]…police
had stopped almost 85,000 people of foreign origin on the streets of Athens and
taken to a police station for examination of their identification papers and
legal status. Only 4,811—about 6 percent—were found to be residing
unlawfully in Greece.”
