Asylum seekers, angry at the slow progress of their paperwork, attacked and burnt down offices at a camp in Lesbos, Greece. The attack happened while interviews with fellow migrants were taking place inside, officials say.
The European Asylum Support Office’s (EASO) mobile registry at the Moria camp was besieged on Monday morning by mob of around 70 refugees hurling stones and petrol bombs. At least eight containers were seriously damaged, with at least three of those burnt down to the ground.
Spokesman Jean-Pierre Schembri said the attackers threw petrol bombs at the EASO facilities while staff members were conducting interviews with fellow asylum-seekers inside.

Smoke from the fire reached the nearby village, leaving locals complaining about constant trouble from the refugee camp.
The asylum seekers, mostly from Pakistan and Bangladesh, were frustrated at the delays in their asylum applications which has left them languishing in Greece for months on end. The migrant camps are squalid and overcrowded, while crime and sexual abuse are rampant.

Well, ought to speed up the paperwork.
If the (bankrupt) Greek government had any sense, this violent terrorism would reduce their workload and administrative backlog. Deport every arsonist back to his country of origin. If they won’t name that country, send them to Syria. If their country won’t take them, send them anyways.
Then they can continue these nonsense hearings and reviews, and deport most of the rest back to their home countries.
For Pete’s sake, just send them back where they came from.
