Vienna, 5 July 2019

The South East Europe Media Organisaton (SEEMO) condemns the yesterday (on 4 July) attack of the headquarters of the Athens Voice weekly by a group of anarchists in Athens. Approximately 12 masked individuals stormed into offices of the weekly armed with steel bars. None of the journalists was injured.

In a post published on video-sharing website LiveLeak, a Greek anarchist group claimed credit for the attack

SEEMO urges the Greek authorities to do everything possible to ensure that acts of violence of this kind do not go unpunished.
