Protesters support Cork activist jailed in GreeceFIVE protests are being held in Ireland and across the world today to show solidarity with a Cork volunteer worker, who is being held in a jail in Greece, amid allegations of helping illegal migrants. Sean Binder, aged 24, from Togher, in Cork, was in Lesbos to assist refugees as part of his work with Emergency Response Centre International. Fanny, who is from Germany, but lives in Cork, says that conditions are good in the prison and that Sean is being treated as well as possible. I am glad that I am there (in Greece) and I can build his spirits up,” she said. She is grateful for a number of other protests, which are being held around the world by friends of Sean, who want to support him.
