The Latest: Greek lawmakers try to stem migrant overcrowding


The Latest on migrant topics in Europe (all times local):———2:50 p.m. A group of 13 Greek human rights organizations accused the government of ignoring refugee rights and is planning a protest outside parliament before the vote later Tuesday. Migrants have turned to Bosnia in recent months, trying to avoid more heavily guarded routes and borders in the Balkans. From Bosnia, migrants seek to enter EU-member Croatia in the northwest, and move on toward Western Europe. Official figures show that in 2017 Turkey stopped some 45,000 Afghan nationals and a further 42,000 so far this year from reaching Greece.
