Illegal immigrants

Seventeen illegal immigrants were arrested on the eastern Aegean islands of Chios and Samos yesterday, according to the Merchant Marine Ministry. Ten of the immigrants were found on Chios in the area of Ionias, while a small sailing boat was found abandoned nearby. On Samos, five of the seven migrants detained were children. They told authorities they crossed over into Greece from Turkey on board a boat which they later destroyed.
