Anti-fascist rally outside the Piraeus court

Members of the Piraeus' Anti-Nazi Initiative and "KEERFA-United Movement Against Racism and the Fascist Threat" on Monday are holding an anti-fascist rally outside Piraeus court, on the occasion of the hearing of the case related to the attack against members of anti-fascist organizations, on September 15, 2012, by a group of members of Golden Dawn.


A case file has been formed against two members of the local organisation of Golden Dawn who are facing charges for grievous bodily harm. One of the defendants is kept in custody pending trial as he is also facing charges for participating in a criminal organisation. According to the Appeals Prosecutor Isidoros Dogiakos, he is also facing charges for blackmailing shop owners in Piraeus and Athens.

The lawyer of the Piraeus' Anti-Nazi Initiative Thanassis Kambagiannis said that four people attacked the anti-fascist organizations' members, two of which have been identified after the lawsuit filed against them by the victims.

According to a representative of the Piraeus Anti-Nazi Initiative, there are dozens of incidents of violence by members of the Golden Dawn, which have never 'arrived' to justice despite the fact that they had been reported to the authorities.
