OH BROTHER - US State Department issues report on human rights violations in Greece

The US State Department’s annual report on human rights is certainly not positive for Greece, since it says that Greek security forces are involved in various violations from refugee abuse, to anti-Semitism and even to discrimination against Roma gypsies. The report also refers to the living conditions in migrant detention centers and prisons, abuse against refugees, prisoners and demonstrators, as well as the actions of the far-right Golden Dawn party.

(Double standards for sure, and a wee bit hypocritical since we all know that the West is supporting the radical right party in Ukraine which wants to kill all the Jewish people in that country, salutes like Hitler, and hates all ethnic minorities!)

Regarding freedom of speech, the report stresses that while it is regulated and legally protected, there have been “exceptions”, in reference to race and social distinctions. Other findings include the excessive use of police violence against demonstrators and attacks against journalists. The report cites a number of reports from other international groups, such as Amnesty International and the Human Rights Watch (or basically Soros-backed organizations).
