"At least 27 migrant workers have
been shot and wounded at a strawberry farm in Greece after demanding unpaid
wages from their employers, according to police." "Greece is an entry route for
Asian and African migrants trying to enter the European Union, but the PAME
union said the episode was only the latest in a country with a long history of
abusing migrant workers. "Growers and landowners have operated with cover from
the government and justice for years, creating a hell-hole with slavery labour
conditions," the union said. "Modern slaves in Manolada work in stifling
conditions, pay rent to their exploiters and are lodged in sheds without water
and electricity, piled upon each other"."
