Demonstrators in Athens, Greece, stage fresh protests amid a 24-hour general strike to voice outrage over last month's train disaster, which claimed 57 lives. The February 28 tragedy has exposed decades of safety failings in Greek railways and has put major pressure on the conservative government ahead of national elections expected in May. IMAGES
