ATHENS, Greece - Greek police say they have arrested a man suspected of throwing acid in the face of a union organizer and forcing it down her throat.

A police statement says the suspect is a 48-year-old Albanian immigrant but it provided no further detail. Tuesday's statement said the man has been charged with participation in attempted murder.

Police said two men took part in the Dec. 23 assault on Bulgarian Kostadinka Kuneva. She is a union official with the Athens association of cleaners. The 44-year-old was ambushed outside her Athens home on her way back from work. She is in a serious condition in hospital.

Her friends and family say she had received threats over her union activities. The attack sparked a series of protests by human rights and left-wing groups.
