Amnesty slams Greek police


4 April 2009


International human rights group Amnesty International issued a report on March 30 accusing the Greek police of widespread abuses during the wave of street protests that shook the country late last year. The report claimed police conducted arbitrary arrests, physically abused detainees, and disproportionately targeted immigrants.

Following the police killing of a 15-year-old, ongoing street protests, strikes and university and school occupations shook Greece as Greek youth expressed their anger at police brutality, racism and economic policies condemning them to poverty and exploitation.
