Two youths from Afghanistan face five-year imprisonment for their role in setting a fire that destroyed the Moria refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos in 2020, local media reported on Wednesday.

The two were to be sent to a juvenile detention facility on the mainland, according to the reports.

The verdict was reportedly reached on Tuesday while their attorney announced plans to appeal.
