Greek Parliament lifts 6 MPs' immunity
             
Greece's Parliament has voted to lift the immunity from prosecution of six lawmakers from the extreme right-wing Golden Dawn, as part of a crackdown into the party sparked by the fatal stabbing last month of a Greek rapper.              

Wednesday's motion was passed virtually unanimously. Golden Dawn lawmakers walked out before the vote.           

The government argues the party operates as a criminal organization. Three other top party members, including its leader, have been jailed pending trial on charges of running or participating in a criminal group.                        

With Greece plunged into a financial depression, Golden Dawn rose from a fringe group to win 18 of Parliament's 300 seats in 2012 elections, despite widespread accusations it organizes attacks on immigrants, political opponents and gays.
