Διαγόρας ο Μήλιος sent me an article last week that he had read at Ροΐδη Εμμονές (in Greek) and very kindly did the translation for me. This story has [...]
I posted last week about two hunger strikes. One in the country’s prisons which has now ended with some positive results.
The other is ongoing in Hania (also written Chania) in Crete where a group of migrants are protesting their treatment here and are trying to obtain legal status. Here is a the first public statement [...]
The heart-breaking story of Ziyad, an Iraqi refugee who was deported from Germany to Greece even though he had never stepped foot in this country before.

In addition to the inmates on hunger strike, another 4,000 continued to boycott their prisons’ mess halls for a second week.
Protesters, whose cause has been [...]
I know I shouldn’t be by now, but I am actually shocked by this headline from the Greek newspaper Avriani. On the election of Barack Obama as the next President of the US, the front page of the paper reads

Please go to Abravanel to read the full article.
Let’s set something clear: [...]
I will be up quite late, waiting for the moment when America votes for its first African-American president. Please don’t talk to me for the next four years if Barack Obama is not voted in. I will be on various forums and live chats. Feel free to contact me via DD live or by gmail

I know it’s a cliche to say that “children are the future” but they are. And if these kids are in any way representative of the future in Greece, then there is some hope.
