The killing alien shows the failure of Greece to tackle racist violence

The murder of young Pakistanis in Athens is a result of the ongoing failure of the Greek authorities to take decisive action against racially motivated violence, said Amnesty International today.

On January 16, two men aboard a motorcycle stabbed the 27-year old Pakistani, while marching with his bike in Petralona, ​​who later succumbed to his injuries. The police has arrested two persons of Greek origin as suspects.

"This attack is not an isolated incident. In last one year we have seen escalating attacks racially motivated, "said Marek Marczynski, Program Director of Amnesty International's Europe and Central Asia.

"Amnesty International has received testimonies and information on four other incidents in which Egyptians have been attacked and injured during the last two months in areas such as Piraeus, Keratsini and Muscat."

"The Greek authorities should investigate the racially motivated, and bring those responsible to justice."

"We must take urgent measures to put an end to large number of racist bullying attacks in the country."

In December, Amnesty International issued a report regarding the types of problems and risks faced by foreigners, such as the dramatic increase in the number of racist attacks by members of right-wing groups.
