Greek lawmaker starts hunger strike over Syrian refugees' plight
A Greek lawmaker joined Syrian refugees in a hunger strike outside the Athens parliament on Saturday to protest against the government's refusal to help them move to other European countries to reunite with relatives.
Yiannis Michelogiannakis, a deputy from the leftist opposition Syriza party, said he decided to strike after an activist group said two protesters had died, one of a heart attack and one while trying to cross the border into Albania.
