Warsaw, Poland -
Six Iranian migrants have sewn their mouths shut during a protest near the village of Idomeni at the Greek-Macedonia border.
They took the action on Monday as several hundred migrants, many from Iran and Morocco, protested for a fourth straight day at the border.
Macedonia and other Balkan countries have toughened criteria for border crossings in the wake of the deadly November13 Paris attacks.
Police say 2 900 people crossed the border into Macedonia in the 24 hours before 6am on Monday, down from more than 6 000 on the previous day.
