MOBILIZE FOR THE DECEMBER 15 SILENT PROTEST AGAINST RACISM, NAZISM AND ANTI-SEMITISM IN ATHENS, GREECE

   In these shocking photos,  by world-renowned  photojournalist Giannis Bechrakis, an Egyptian immigrant shows the marks of torture on his body by his Greek boss. After being robbed from his boss from his money, the baker employee, an illegal immigrant, was beaten for many hours by three men, and he was chained bleeding and unconscious, ultimately left to die. He was found  and  rushed to hospital from local citizens. A photo that reminds to all of us the inhumanity of slavery.

(...) Please go on mobilizing for the march, since every individual who will be there will count and will help send the message that the whole Greek society is mobilized, along with the rest of the European civil society, to fight for democracy and against racism, antisemitism and neo-Nazism. A movement is being born thanks to us, let's make it as strong as possible !
