It has been reported that the body of Kurdish refugee Ibrahim Ergün, who ended his life to protest the conditions of detention in the Corinth refugee detention center in Greece, will be sent to Muş.

The hearing held on 28 March decided the continuation of the detention of the refugee. It was reported that the Kurdish refugee took his life to protest this decision.

Journalist Kaplan said: “After the autopsy, Ergün's body will be sent to his hometown of Muş. Athens Kurdish Cultural Center and anti-racist groups will hold a press release in front of the Greek parliament at 6 pm on Monday. The government's anti-refugee policies will be protested.”
