On Sunday 10th July there was an intervention outside the greek embassy in Ljubljana to focus attention on the racist murder by a cop 2 days before and to continue to call out the state murder of 600 people in pylos.Banners were hung on the building and the gathering shouted slogans in greek and english.
During the summer the greek state is in fever to present itself as paradise to tourists. But this image is reliant on daily violence targeted at racialised people, those claiming asylum, the homeless and drug users who live in the cities.
The murder of a 20 year old now, a 16 year old last year and every other murder by a cop is proof that the greek state, as every state, relies on oppression, violence and murder.
Killing a racialised person when running away is an outcome of institutional racism just as the murder of 600 people crossing the sea is just one example of the daily reality of EU asylum policy and border regimes.
We call for the demonstration against the murder in pylos and every racist state murder on Thursday 13th July in Omonia at 7pm.
Cops, Frontex, Coastguards, All are murderers
