4:05 p.m. About 1,300 migrants gathered in the
Greek town Idomeni have been protesting peacefully against the decision
by Macedonian authorities across the border to turn away migrants who
are not from war zones such as Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.

Most of the protesters were from Morocco, but some
were also from Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Lebanon, Iran, Pakistan,
Bangladesh and the Congo. They demanded to be allowed in, shouting
slogans, such as "Freedom!" ''We are not terrorists" and "We are not
going back." An undetermined number have also gone on hunger strike.
By early afternoon most protesters had withdrawn
from the border and set up tents a short distance away. Macedonian
authorities took the decision to exclude migrants from non-war countries
earlier this week on the heels of similar action by Serbia, Croatia and
Slovenia. The excluded migrants have been camping in Idomeni for three
days.
