Immigrant hunger strikes inside detention centers protesting human rights abuses aren’t limited to the U.S. In Greece, nearly 600 immigrant detainees are on a hunger strike protesting the Greek policy of transporting migrants from the cities to remote places before deportation.

The recent government policy of moving illegal immigrants to reception centers in northern Greece before expelling them from the country ran into more trouble yesterday, as 580 migrants being held on Samos went on hunger strike to protest the measure…

Yesterday’s protest came as sources revealed to Kathimerini that one in three applications made this year to remain here by the families of migrants living legally in Greece will be rejected.
