Refugees and migrants try to warm themselves through fires in the makeshift camp in Idomeni, Greece February 2016. They use everything to sustain the fire, even plastics, creating a terrible and toxic atmosphere. Refugees are stranded in the borderline, as the illegal rail pass is closed. Since 2014, refugees from Syria, Iraq, but also from Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries of the Middle East, began to flock to Idomeni in order to cross the Greek borders and enter FYROM / Republic of Macedonia. Both the latter and Serbia to the north are out of the Schengen Area, which is why the refugees prefer this way to reach countries such as Germany and Sweden, so entering again the Schengen Area from Serbia; in case of arrest, they will be sent back to Croatia or Hungary (closer to their desired immigration destinations, especially Germany), and not to Greece, which is farther south. In 2015, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia decided to guard its borders by military forces in order to prevent the refugees from entering the country, as Serbia also closed its borders. Thus Idomeni became a vast camp, where many refugees entering Greece abide. The peak number of refugees who stayed in Idomeni numbered more than 15,000.[10] On the 24th of May 2016, Greek authorities began relocating refugees from the Idomeni camp to processing facilities mostly in and around Thessaloniki.

A Kashmir Muslim protester saves himself from tear gas with the help of plastic sheet during an anti Indian protest for Imposing ban on the sale of beef in Kashmir on September 18, 2015 in Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian administered Kashmir, India. Indian police used teargas shells and pellets to disperse scores of Kashmiri Muslim protesters protesting against imposing the ban on the sale of beef in Kashmir . The High Court in Indian controlled Kashmir issued orders on Wednesday imposing ban on sale of beef and against the cow slaughter in the Muslim majority state and directing the Indian police to strictly implement the order. The order is a reiteration of a law imposed by the regions former monarchy. Under the law ( section 298A,) a guilty may face 10 years of imprisonment and fine, while imprisonment of one year along with fine is applicable under section 298B. HC's move comes five months after Maharashtra government implemented the beef ban law to prevent slaughter of cows as the animal is considered sacred in Hindu religion. Following the decision of High Court to enforce the ban on sale of beef in the state the Kashmir resistance leaders and different socio-religious and political organisations have threatened a stir against the order and have called for a strike in the state on Saturday.
