Pope Francis likens migrant holding centres to 'concentration camps'

Pope Francis has urged governments to get asylum seekers out of detention centres, saying most of them are like concentration camps. He made the comments during a special religious service on Tiber Island in central Rome, commemorating modern-day Christian martyrs. He said refugee camps where Europe-bound refugees are held are like Nazi concentrations camps because they are so overcrowded.
