Allegation of a worrying pattern of racism, racial discrimination, and
xenophobia against foreigners, migrants, asylum seekers and refugees.
According to the information received, this pattern is illustrated by an
increase in xenophobic and racist attacks, the entry for the first time into
Parliament of the far right wing political party Golden Dawn, and the
implementation of policy measures targeting migrants and asylum seekers in
the area of health, including their mandatory medical testing and
administrative detention based on health status. Allegedly, several incidents
of racially motivated violence and attacks against foreigners, migrants, and
asylum seekers occurred in different places across Greece. Allegedly, the
surge in these xenophobic attacks is linked to the rise of the Golden Dawn far
right political party. Reportedly, an amendment to the Presidential Decree
114/2010 on the establishment of a single procedure for granting refugee
status or subsidiary protection to aliens or to stateless persons was adopted in
April 2012, providing for detention of migrants and asylum seekers based on
their health status.
