GREECE,
Racist hate attack against Roma people community of
Xanthium
May 10, 2013
According to reports of journalists in Xanthium and the
state TV station ET3 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ET3_%28Greece%29>
, residents of the city have invited a group of neo-Nazi’s to attack the
community of Roma people. The excuse was more or less the same like other
regions of the country. The residents talk about a number of small-robberies in
their area which is increased lately. The residents together with the Nazis set
the half of the Roma people tents on fire. The local police didn’t show up
during the pogrom incident.
