The Foreign Press Association of Greece expresses its deepest condolences to the family and friends of our member Angélique Kourounis, who passed away yesterday. 1/

RIP Angélique KOUROUNIS “I’m a journalist, my partner in life is a Jew, one of my sons is gay, another is an anarchist, and I am a left-wing feminist, as well as a daughter of immigrants… If Golden Dawn comes to power, our only problem would be which wagon they will put us on…”

#Greece : 'It has been almost one year since Basir Al Sqour, a 47-year-old former military officer in the Jordanian army with the rank of “major,” had to leave { #Jordan } in a hurry because of his change of religion and the ensuing persecution due to his choice'. #ReligiousFreedom

#Greece : The Prosecutor will appeal against the release of N. Michaloliakos, the leader of the #Nazi #GoldenDawn . The last 2 years he wasn't in prison but in a covid recovery centre. Which wouldn't sound suspicious in a country with a different impunity record in #hatecrimes ...

Combining insights from these different members and other partners, this month’s report covers, among other things:

1/4

🆘️ ~22 people stranded on an islet in the #Evros river, by #Kastanies !

The group say there are children and people who need urgent medical care. They report some of them have been pushed back to #Türkiye before and fear it happening again. @Hellenicpolice: assist them now!

🇬🇷 #Policeviolence -racist targeting of an immigrant
The person is screaming in pain

I'm sick & tired of police brutality in Athens & elsewhere.

🆘 from ~19 people on #Farmakonisi island in #Greece !

The people are asking for help & medical assistance. #Greek authorities told us that they are searching for them. They report that one person among them has a heart condition. We hope medical help will arrive soon.

#Greece : Acc. to a research, 73% of 🇬🇷s believe in God, a strong decrease comparing to 92% in '05. 7 in 10 are in favour of Church & State separation. The Orthodox Church remains the strongest lobby in 🇬🇷, with all(?) parties currying its favor & ignoring these data. #secularism

‼️RSF 2024🌍Press Freedom Index: In the 88th place, 🇬🇷Greece ranks last in 🇪🇺 for the 3rd consecutive year.

With only a slight score increase (+1.95), its new place can largely be attributed to the deterioration of press freedom in other countries.
