Available for over a year

Migrants stuck on the border between Greece and Macedonia have sewn their lips together to protest against not being allowed to continue their journey. About six men, apparently from Iran, stripped down during the demonstration near the village of Eidomeni. Oscar Webb is a journalist who witnessed their extreme actions.
