We express our concern for the health and life of the 300 immigrants that are on a hunger strike since the 25^th of January, in Athens and Thessaloniki.

They are immigrants that live and work for many years in Greece and they request equal rights with the Greek and European workers.

We request the modification of the migratory policies of the EU in order to respect the rights of the immigrants. We declare our solidarity to the struggle of the 300 immigrants for dignity and we ask the Greek Government to carefully listen to their demands and give a solution to the problem.
