At a time of unprecedented economic and social crisis leading to the rise of xenophobic and racist incidents, Doctors of the World – Greek Department and the Greek Council for Refugees have joined their forces by implementing the Programme “Enough!”.
During the one year Programme implementation, dozens of racist attacks’ victims have been recorded, as well as the hideous attack in Manolada and other incidents, which have not been publicized.
During the press conference, data and audio-visual material with regard to the recording and the support of racist violence cases will be presented. Furthermore, copies of the report will be distributed freely for your information.
The press conference will be held on Tuesday 29th April 2014 at 11:00 in the Hall of the Athens Bar Association (60 Academias street, Athens).
