Women and children dwell in leaking, unheated tents at wintry temperatures. Neither the sanitary nor other facilities meet modern standards. These abhorrent conditions have been continuing for many months now while those in charge obviously see no reason to change the situation for the better. From the looks of it, those inhumane conditions in the camps are politically intended to deter people from coming to Europe. If such assumptions are found to be true, those responsible should be ashamed of themselves\u201d, said Alta\u015f. <\/p>\n<p>Not only would the camps\u2019 inmates be deprived of their most fundamental rights, but Europe would betray her own values, Alta\u015f criticized.<br \/>\n\u201cForeign and refugee policy considerations currently prevail over morals and humanity which are of paramount importance for peace and social cohesion in Europa and the World. Therefore, we call on the European Union as well as every single member state, to bring an end to those unspeakable policies and return to a policy guided by morals and dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Regarding the terrible living conditions of refugees in Bosnian and Greek camps, Bekir Alta\u015f, secretary general of the Islamic Association of Mill\u00ee G\u00f6r\u00fc\u015f (IGMG) called on European countries to \u201cbase their refugee policies on morals and dignity \u2013 not vice versa.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":39720,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[23241],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39721"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39721"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39721\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39722,"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39721\/revisions\/39722"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39720"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.igmg.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
