Protest over arrest of Cork aid worker in Greece

Supporters of a Cork aid volunteer, held in a Greek jail over allegations of helping illegal migrants enter Greece, are to hold demonstrations in five cities next Saturday to call for his release.

Sean Binder, a Trinity College graduate, who volunteered with Emergency Response Centre International, helping refugees on Lesbos island, went to meet police voluntarily in August, after learning that he was being sought for questioning about the charity’s activities. He denies any wrongdoing.
