Riot police and residents clashed for several hours on the Greek islands of Lesbos and Chios Tuesday, as protesters tried to prevent authorities from bringing excavating machines from the mainland to build new migrant detention camps.
Police fired tear gas to disperse the crowds that gathered to try and stop police from disembarking from government-chartered ferries.
On Lesbos, protesters set fire to trash bins and used municipal garbage trucks to try and block off the port area.
