Two arrested over shooting of migrant farm workers in Nea Manolada

Police have reportedly arrested two suspects in connection with the shooting of more than 30 Bangladeshi workers in the Nea Manolada area of the Peloponnese during a dispute over back pay on Wednesday. Police are looking for two more suspects, Skai reports. The incident occurred when some 200 workers allegedly demanded six months’ worth of unpaid wages from their employer in the region of Ilia. The pickers became involved in an argument with three Greek supervisors, at least one of whom fired at the migrants with a shotgun.
