A Greek court's decision to acquit local farmers who admitted shooting 28 Bangladeshi strawberry pickers when they dared to ask for months of back pay has sparked outrage in the country.[/FONT][/COLOR]
Politicians, unionists and anti-racist groups roundly condemned the verdict describing it as a black mark for justice in a case that had shone a light on the appalling conditions in which migrant workers are often kept in Greece.

So much for Greece being the root of Western civilization! Fucking disgraceful. I was actually contemplating visiting Greece soon and this court-order left a bitter taste. I don't think I will visit.

the verdict is a bust allright.
but nobody was killed.
read before making emotional outbursts.


Two others, accused of aggravated assault and illegal firearms possession, were jailed for 14 years and seven months and eight years and seven months, but were freed pending appeal.

The strawberry pickers were shot in April last year when they demanded to be paid for six months' work at a farm in Manolada in the southern Peloponnese. Four were badly injured in the attack.

OK I stand corrected , I don't know why I thought they were all killed as soon as I saw the word shooting . these poor sods worked for six months in those appalling conditions and when they asked for their wages they got lead instead of silver ...and the rest of Europe is bailing them out .

Greek farmer following the pattern of Emarati, Kuwaiti and saudi people attitude towards migrant workers.
Greek court system patterning itself by Islamic republic court system.
