US-based group asks Athens to release details of tests conducted at facility built on former military installation

An emergency refugee camp erected on the Aegean island of Lesbos is a potential health hazard for thousands of asylum seekers and aid workers because the site has been contaminated by lead poisoning, according to Human Rights Watch.

The US-based group urged Athens’ centre-right government to release further details of the tests it has conducted at the facility, which was formerly a military installation.
