THE retrieval of 20 dead bodies from waters around Crete within a few hours is evidence that “the repression and persecution of the uprooted is intensifying,” the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) said today.Authorities recovered 12 bodies from a boat found sailing south of the island, while 18 were rescued alive by a Morocco-flagged cargo ship. Another seven bodies were found on a separate boat which had been identified at sea a few days before, when 28 people were rescued and one dead body found in the water but the boat was apparently unreachable due to bad weather.
