THESSALONIKI (AP) — Some 250 asylum-seekers have blocked a busy northern Greek highway, in a second day of protests against overcrowding and poor conditions in the nearby camp they are housed in.

Most of these camps were later closed and their occupants moved to flats in Greek cities or relocated to other European countries.
