NO TO RACISM – NO TO XENOPHOBIA
On March 12th, a trial which concerns all of us will take place at the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Athens. The three members of the illegal organization, who racially attacked a group of Afghan refugees at Agios Panteleimonas, are being judged. The victims of the accused were injured, while one of them has been stabbed close to his heart and stomach.
Similar incidents occur frequently at the city center and the suburbs. However, every racially motivated attack against a refugee and a migrant who arrived in Greece, seeking political asylum or a better life in Europe equals an attack against each and every one of us. Every victim is one of us.
Those incidents unite us and give us the opportunity to raise our voice. We stand by the victims of the attack and we demand an exemplary sentence of the guilty. We condemn racism and xenophobia wherever they come from. We trust the Greek society and justice because we are aware of their struggles against fascism.
Together we will move forward.
NON AU RACISME – NON A LA XENOPHOBIE
Le 12 mars, aura lieu au tribunal d’ Evelpidon un process qui nous concerne tous:
Celui de trois membres d’ une organisation paragouvernementale, qui se sont attaqués avec des motivations racistes, le 16 septembre 2011 dans la région de Saint Panteleimon, à un groupe de réfugiés afghans. A l’ aide d’ un couteau ils ont gravement blessé l’un d’ entre eux, au coeur et à l’ estomac, et d’ autres légèrement.
Des attaques similaires sont devenues fréquentes, tant à Athènes que dans les banlieues.
Cependant, chaque attaque raciste envers un réfugié ou immigré, envers toute personne qui s’est retrouvée en Grèce à la recherche soit d’asile politique soit d’une meilleure vie en Europe, constitue une attaque contre nous tous. Chaque victime, c’est l’ un de nous.
Ces actions nous unissent et fortifient notre voix commune. Nous sommes solidaires avec les victimes de l’ attaque et exigeons une punition exemplaire des coupables. Nous condamnons le racisme et la xénophobie, d’où qu’ ells proviennent. Nous savons que la société grecque ainsi que les tribunaux grecs se sont battus contre le fascisme, c’est pourquoi nous leur faisons confiance.
Ensemble nous avancerons.
