Migrant hunters in Greece show off captured 'trophies' after wildfire season As the popular belief spreads that migrants are to blame for the fires that have ravaged Greece, self-organised civilian 'militias' are hunting them down.A man opens the back of his green camouflage van and triumphantly shows off the "25 pieces he hunted" earlier in the day. His 'hunting trophies' are terrifed migrants. The scene takes place in Evros, the border region with Turkey in north-eastern Greece, and as he speaks in the video he justifies his actions by blaming the migrants for the fires that have ravaged the region."They will burn us," he says, encouraging the Greeks to follow his example: "Organise to catch them! The mountains are full of them".The migrants look into the camera without understanding what is happening, but the fear in their eyes is palpable. The post has thousands of reactions, with one anonymous user commenting: "Throw them in the fire".
