Immigrants come mostly from countries in North Africa but they have been working on the island of Crete for years. They had arrived in Athens on Sunday night and then were taken by human rights activists to the Athens Law School, reported Kathimerini newspaper. They announced that they go on a hunger strike today and will drink only water and sugar until their requests to obtain documents to stay and work in the country are fulfilled. Supported by leftist parties and anti-racist organizations, the immigrants will jeopardize their lives to compel the government to "provide documents" to all illegal immigrants in the country. 50 more immigrants from Thessaloniki joined them and started a hunger strike on the seventh floor in the headquarters of the Workers Center in the second largest city in Greece.
