Countries afraid of people leaving build fences, protesters say

Koper, 19 December - A group of people from both sides of the border gathered on Saturday at the Slovenian-Croatian border crossing near Brezovica village in Istria region to protest the razor wire dividing the two nations. "Wire scares our people but does absolutely nothing to stop anybody," one of the organisers said at the Against Wire, For Humane Europe rally.
