Tensions flared between police and protesters during a demonstration against the creation of a screening centre for the refugees on the Greek island of Kos, Sunday.
Hundreds of activists, supported by members of the far-right party Golden Dawn, marched near the site where the centre is due to be built in Pyli, holding Greek flags while chanting the national anthem. Scuffles broke out when the protesters tried to break the police blockade and access the centre's construction site. Riot police responded by firing rounds of tear gas against the demonstrators, including children.
Kos city council is due to hold a referendum on Tuesday deciding whether plans to build the screening centre will continue.
