A man sews shut the mouth of a fellow migrant from Iran in protest at being held up at the Greece-Macedonia border near Gevgelija on November 23, 2015.
The men, who say they are from Iran threatened to go on hunger strike, have been camping on the tracks of the railroad between the two countries since Friday.
Hundreds of migrants are stuck on the border after Skopje last week imposed restrictions limiting passage to those fleeing conflict zones.
Syrian, Iraqi and Afghan refugees are allowed through but those deemed economic migrants -- mainly people from Iran, Pakistan and Bangladesh -- are blocked.
