A public prosecutor on Tuesday ordered that a 25-year-old man accused of seriously injuring a seven-year-old boy through misuse of fireworks be remanded in custody. He has been charged with causing serious bodily harm, violating laws on the use of fireworks and causing explosions.
The young boy has been hospitalised in critical condition at the Agia Sofia children's hospital in Athens, where doctors say he stands to lose an eye, after a naval flare ignited during Easter Mass celebrations in Halkida exploded near his head.
