Migrants protest at Greek-Macedonian border

About 300 migrants stranded at the Greek-Macedonian border stage another protest, this time cutting off the railway line connecting the two countries. The protesters are carrying posters reading “Open the border” and shouting the same slogan.

A cargo train on its way to central Europe is forced to turn back.

Over 6,500 refugees are stranded at a tent camp in the Greek border town of Idomeni, as Macedonia has again put in severe border restrictions for migrants. Another 400 migrants are camped at a gas station 17 kilometers (11 miles) away.

Macedonia let in only 300 Iraqis and Syrians on Saturday after closing the border on Friday. It says it is regulating the migrant flow depending on what other countries further north in the Balkans migration route — Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia — do.
