undeclared blood
Posted by clandestina on 2 November 2009
In the last few days the mass media in Greece have been producing all kinds of elaborate arguments in favour of the young police woman who was critically injured by the bullets of some obscure urban gorilla group.
There has been much more blood shed than that in Greece , much more. Blood that remained in the shadow of public attention.
Some horrible reminders:
At least eight refugees (women and children) drown in the Aegean – one more unspeakable tragedy
Immigrant victim of police torture passes away in Athens
Greece: 5 immigrants murdered in one year, 50 in the last decade
(and in the Mediterranean The massacre continues: 459 deaths in the first 6 months of 2009)
plus the horrible deaths at work, the so called “labor accidents” (many immigrants among them) – list “brought to attention” by Alice’s blog).

• 2000 127 accidents
