A child walks down the tracks at Larissis train station in Athens today
OVER 100 people seeking sanctuary in Europe jumped onto the tracks at a busy Athens train station and staged a sit-down protest today.
Disrupting rail services across the capital, the men, women and children whooped and cheered as they demanded to be allowed to travel to Thessaloniki in northern Greece.
Officials from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) attempted to persuade the protesters to voluntarily leave the tracks.
