Amnesty International report (pdf):

"Amnesty International has longstanding and continuing concerns regarding the failure of the authorities in Greece to ensure that the police respect and protect human rights. Allegations of human rights violations committed by the police continue to be made, in the context of both policing demonstrations and during arrest and detention. Such violations include excessive use of force during demonstrations; arbitrary detention; torture or other ill treatment; and denial of prompt access to legal assistance."

Our work is only possible with your support.
