Hate on the Streets
The 99-page report documents the failure of the police and the
judiciary to prevent and punish rising attacks on migrants. Despite
clear patterns to the violence and evidence that it is increasing, the
police have failed to respond effectively to protect victims and hold
perpetrators to account, Human Rights Watch found. Authorities have yet
to develop a preventive policing strategy, while victims are discouraged
from filing official complaints. No one has been convicted under
Greece’s 2008 hate crime statute.
