Greeks Protest Racist Attacks on Immigrants

Hundreds of Greeks joined a demonstration called by Leftist groups on Nov. 24 to protest a rise in racist attacks on migrants, some attributed to the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party that is now in Parliament.
The Leftists and anarchists took part in the Athens protest, according to Agence-France-Presse,  chanting slogans against Golden Dawn which rights groups say enjoys protection by racist elements within the police.
“The government and the Nazis are working together,” many protesters sang as they marched on Parliament, shadowed by riot police. The police department put the turnout at just 1,000.
Dozens of migrants have reported beatings on the street and even inside their homes in recent months, while unions say Golden Dawn members are also putting pressure on businesses to fire migrant laborers.
