BEYOND THESSALONIKI-Human Rights knows NO BORDERS

I guess this could be construed as a call for anyone interested to spend a couple of days longer in Northern Greece, doing a NO BORDER/ANTI BORDER type camp.

These Kosovar refugees need OUR help, being shafted by all and sundry. At Thessaloniki we will have a more concrete proposal, but basically people could go up and see them lawfully, by crossing into Macedonia (most West Europeans dont need visas) on regular trains (3 hours to Skopje). Alternatively we could do a mass ILLEGAL border crossing, and try to bring them supplies, depending on what people think.
Click the link below for more info, much logistics needs to be done.
