The following is a video about an ongoing migrant hunger strike taking place in Greece. 300 people, mainly from North Africa, are on their 39th day of holding a hunger strike in a push for the legalization of all Greek migrants, but the Greek authorities are yet to budge. As of this writing at least 98 hunger strikers have been hospitalized in Athens and Thessaloniki, and strikers have pledged to die for their cause.
