Supervisors opened fire on dozens of Bangladeshi migrant strawberry pickers in Nea Manolada, on the outskirts of Ileia in the Peloponnese, on Wednesday. Police are hunting three foremen who were suspected of shooting and wounding more than 20 migrant workers at a strawberry farm in the Peloponnese. The supervisors were believed to have opened fire with shotguns on Wednesday at a crowd of about 200 mostly Bangladeshi immigrants who were demanding wages that had not been paid, police said.
