The Greek government interned there thousands of Bulgarian people, citizens of Thessaloniki and Aegean Trace, whose only guilt was being Bulgarian (this is what Bulgarian and panslavism propaganda stated, because for example in Thessaloniki there were 1.260 war prisoners (soldiers and officers) and about 80 people accused as komitajis - and no more people; generally, almost all the prisoners was soldiers and officers). Later, thousands of Bulgarian POWs, mostly ordinary and sergeants, were also brought in. Many were thrown overboard and drowned, to the cheers of the sailors. It will never be known how many died there, and how many drowned in. For example at Ithaki island - for example "Extracts from the memoirs of Hristo Shaldev", where Shaldev states: "The war started on 16 June 1913. After the capitulation of the Bulgarian Salonika garrison, the few remaining teachers, the Archimandrite Evlogi, his secretary Hristo Bostandgieff and the Bulgarian citizens of Salonika were arrested. They, together with prisoners from the whole of Macedonia were placed on ships and exiled in the Greek Islands. My group which comprised some 1000 people was sent to the island Itaki in the "Pontiiskoto More". Together with another 1000 soldiers we remained there until mid November 1903". http://macedonia.kroraina.com/en/gphillip/hs/hs_1.html Bulgarian war prisoners (all 5.330 of them), alone with some komitajis (who's number is unknown), were put in prisoners camps on several places: Mytilene (on the island of Lesbos), Halkidike, Paleo Trikeri, Corfu and Ithaka: https://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%95%D0%B3%D0%B5%D0%B9%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%9C%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F
