Thousands of demonstrators staged
fresh protests in Greece on Sunday as anger grows over the
country's deadliest rail crash, ratcheting up pressure on the
government over the tragedy. Protesters flooded Athens' Syntagma
Square in front of parliament, waving banners that read "We
won't forget, we won't forgive" and "We will become the voice of
all the dead". Fifty-seven people, many of them students, were
killed when a passenger train and freight train collided head-on
in central Greece on February 28. Four railway officials have
been charged but public anger has focused on long-running
mismanagement of the network, and the country has been rocked by
a series of sometimes violent mass protests. On Sunday about
12,000 demonstrators gathered outside parliament while 5,000
took to the streets of the second city Thessaloniki, police
said.
