Greeks are protesting throughout the country on Friday to mark the second anniversary of the nation’s deadliest train crash.

Thousands of people are taking to the streets in many cities, including the capital Athens, after public and private sector labor unions called a 24-hour strike to allow protesters to demand justice for the victims. Ferries will remain docked, trains will be halted and almost all flights are canceled.
