Greek farmers who shot 28 Bangladeshi strawberry pickers for demanding pay walk free from court in 'scandalous, racist' verdict

A Greek court has sparked an "unprecedented racist scandal" after it cleared farmers who shot and wounded 28 Bangladeshi strawberry pickers when they asked to be paid.

In a verdict described as "an outrage and a disgrace" and which led to protests outside the court in the southern city of Patras, the owner of the farm and head foreman were cleared of all charges - which included human trafficking.

Greece's migrant fruit pickers: 'They kept firing. There was blood everywhere'
Last year, Greek farm guards shot at illegal migrant strawberry pickers, wounding 35. When a court acquitted them this summer, there was outrage. At the camp, where they continue to live like slaves, the workers share their stories
