Since 11 November 15 migrants in Chania, Crete, Greece, active members of the Crete Forum of Migrants, have been on hunger strike, demanding the legal status they are eligible for, fighting for dignity and equal rights, for them and their families, for all migrants within Fortress Europe. 

You can read more about this in posts of this blog here (their first public statement featuring their demands and the context of the struggle), here (a summary of events of the first 10 days), and here (for the last 5 days, 20-25 Novemeber).  

Full information in Greek in  www.clandestina.org  and the Athens Indymedia. 

You can download and watch a video with hunger-strike footage here (no subtitled version yet, still worth-watching).

International public statements of support and solidarity, personal, collective or institutional, are very much and urgently needed.  Please, forward them to the Initiative for Solidarity at
