Hate speechPersons found guilty may face up to three years imprisonment, as well as a fine up to €20 000. Sexual orientation was already among the grounds included. Results of the EU-wide LGBT survey carried out by the FRA show that 74 percent of Greek transgender people report hate speech towards LGBT people is widespread in Greece."
