North African illegal immigrants take shelter by railway tracks in Athens on Orthodox Good Friday April 13, 2012. A wave of migrants from the developing world has been blamed for a rise in crime that authorities say has assumed "epidemic proportions".Break-ins, robberies, muggings and murders have soared, with burglaries rising by 125% in the greater Athens region in 2011, according to Greek police. Around 130,000 are estimated to enter the country each year. REUTERS/Yannis Behrakis (GREECE)
