UNHCR alert after attacks
“The attacks and brawls have created a tense and explosive atmosphere which is unsettling local residents,” the UNHCR said. The agency called on authorities to avert similar attacks and “promote initiatives to tackle social exclusion.” The UNHCR’s appeal follows a recent wave of violence that started with a vicious attack on an Afghan aid worker by 20 assailants last Saturday. On Thursday, three Afghan men were charged with attacking an Albanian minor and two Greek nationals who came to the latter’s aid. Later that day, unidentified arsonists torched a cafe owned by an Afghan and two Bangladeshis stabbed the owner of a local convenience store before fleeing with his takings. from the greekmedia...
Armed robberies
Two post offices and a cafe were targeted by armed robbers in Attica yesterday, according to police reports. The first of the holdups took place early yesterday morning, when two armed men stormed a cafe in the southern suburb of Voula, fired shots into the air and made off with an unspecified amount of cash. Later, at 8 a.m., a gunman walked into a post office in Alimos, also south of Athens, grabbed some money and rode off on a motorcycle. Just a few minutes after that, another armed man robbed a post office in Peristeri and escaped on foot. None of the perpetrators have been identified. greek media...
