Disabled
Kept
in
Cages
in
Greece
A
disturbing
report
from
Chloe
Hadjimatheou
from
the
BBC
found
that
Greece’s
most
vulnerable
ci7zens
have
been
subjected
to
dire
condi7ons
that
have
been
made
even
worse
due
to
the
country’s
economic
difficul7es.
She
found
that
federally
funded
centres
are
grossly
understaffed,
forcing
administrators
to
resort
to
strategies
many
would
find
inhumane,
including
keeping
individuals
locked
up
in
cages.
