TWO politicians moved by the plight of a family whose son died while on a Greek holiday will today urge holidaymakers to avoid the Mediterranean country.
North Durham MP Kevan Jones and North-East MEP Stephen Hughes will join Pam and George Cummings in Durham City's market place from noon.
The couple, whose son Chris Rochester died needlessly in a Greek hospital two years ago, are urging people to think twice before jetting off for the Greek islands.
The 24-year-old died in Rhodes Hospital after he fell from a balcony while on holiday on the island. He was misdiagnosed, neglected and left to die in agony.
Mr Hughes and Mr Jones will help Mr and Mrs Cummings hand out leaflets during the afternoon.
