Update (October 1, 2012)
Racist attack on Imam's home
On a press conference given by the Movement "United Against Racism and the Fascist Threat", on Monday October 1, 2012, Shahbaz Sintiki, who is the Imam of the Pakistani Community in Greece, said among other things the following :
On Saturday, September 29 at midnight a group of ten - twelve men shouting fascist slogans attacked his home located in the Sepolia area of Athens. The attackers disrupted the whole neighborhood by shouting abusive slogans against immigrants and threatening. They broke down both the main door of the house and a window and they destroyed a room door.
At the moment of the attack, Imam was away from his home. But his housemates were sleeping in the home: Habib Ulah, 20 years old and Mohammad Navid who was injured with a bat.
Other residents from the neighborhood called the police, and asked the police who arrived immediately to persecute and arrest the attackers.
The attackers were still nearby.
But surprisingly Police stayed in the area, and arrested the two victims of the attack to check their papers in the Police Department of St. Panteleimon!
After Imam Shahbaz Sintiki was notified of what has happened to his home and realized that Police are not searching for the attackers, he went the police station of St. Panteleimon at 1am to file a sue, as a last chance for an official search for the attackers to be made. Imam denoted that he tried twice to file a sue, but Police officers denied by saying "we have no time now, come another time.".
Police officers have arrested the victims and it is quite sure they will try to deport them. As the Movement "United Against Racism and the Fascist Threat" reports, it is a common practice of the Greek Police to deport witnesses. Thus the case will never take the path to justice and perpetrators will never get charged.
Racist attack to Pakistani workers
On Sunday, September 30 at 4pm at Eleusina area a group of Greek men attacked on two Pakistani immigrants who were riding a motorbike. One of the attackers who was driving a car approached the motorbike of the migrants and without reason started swearing by shouting " go to your country." . The attacker forced the migrants to stop at a point where four others appeared. The driver of the car got out and hit one of the migrants (Hussein Abas , 34yo) with a knuckle duster on his head. Hussein Abas is in the hospital . Two of the attackers were brought to the Police station of Elefsina.
