Amnesty International and other groups are reporting that between 40 and 150 construction workers have died in Athens due to poor safety measures leading up to the Olympics, scheduled to begin this Friday. Union officials say there is no official record being kept of the deaths. City authorities are also reportedly rounding up homeless people, drug addicts, and mentally ill people and requiring that psychiatric hospitals lock them up. Also affected by Athens Olympic clean-up are refugees and asylum seekers, some of whom are being targeted for detention and deportation in the days leading u to the games. And as the city makes preparation to welcome athletes, inmates of Korydallos Prison and five other prisons have protested against the government’s decision to stop authorizing parole during the games as a security measure.
