United States Department of State
The government generally respected the human rights of its citizens; however, there were problems in several areas. Human rights abuses
reported during the year included:
reports of abuse by security forces, particularly of undocumented immigrants and Roma; overcrowding and harsh conditions in some prisons; detention of undocumented migrants in squalid conditions; some legal restrictions on freedom of speech (although not enforced in practice); restrictions and administrative obstacles faced by members of non-Orthodox religions,
including serious delays in receiving permits; detention and deportation of unaccompanied or separated immigrant minors, including asylum seekers; failure to provide adequate protection to victims of domestic violence; discrimination against Romani children in education; exploitation of Romani children through begging and forced labor; trafficking in persons;
limits on the ability of ethnic minority groups to self-identify; and
discrimination against and social exclusion of ethnic minorities, particularly Roma. A large number of Roma lacked access to adequate housing, basic medical care, public services, and employment opportunities.
There were no reports that the government or its agents committed any politically motivated killings during the year; however, a police officer killed one person.
On December 6, a police officer killed 15-year-old
Alexandros Grigoropoulos in the Exarchia district in Athens, as Grigoropoulos and other youths reportedly w
ere throwing rocks at a police vehicle.
Authorities arrested the officer and his partner in connection with the shooting.
T
he shooting touched off more than a month of riots and demonstrations by youths and self-styled anarchists in cities across the country that resulted in injuries to dozens of civilians and police as well as an estimated 1 billion euros (approximately $1.4 billion) in property damage.
Both policemen were in custody at year's end on as yet undetermined charges.
In September four Georgian migrants were killed in marked
minefields in the Evros area on the
Greek-Turkish border. During the previous 17 years, 72 persons died in the Evros minefields.
In March two police officers and two border guards were
dismissed after a video surfaced showing officers
abusing two Albanian migrants in police custody after their 2006 arrest on drug charges. A video of the incident was posted to the Web site YouTube.com and was
aired on Greek television.
Criminal charges against the officers for torture and breach of duty were pending at year's end.
Police corruption continued to be a problem. During the year the police Bureau of Internal Affairs took several disciplinary measures, including dismissal and suspension, against officers involved in corruption, primarily for forging documents and for taking bribes
In July two police officers were given prison sentences of two and 18 months, respectively, for offering protection to an illegal electronic gambling shop in Thessaloniki.
In November
eight Thessaloniki police officers were convicted in connection with the beating of a Cypriot student in 2006. The officers were convicted of causing bodily harm and were given
sentences ranging from 15-39 months,
Political Prisoners and Detainees
There were no reports of political prisoners or detainees.
Respect for Civil Liberties, Including: a. Freedom of Speech and Press
The
constitution and law provide for freedom of speech and of the press, and the government generally respected these rights in practice. However, legal restrictions on free speech remained in force. The law
prohibits speech that endangers or disturbs the country's relations with foreign states, spreads false information or rumors causing fear among citizens, causes rivalry or division among citizens, or incites citizens to disturb the peace or commit acts of violence. In practice these legal prohibitions were seldom invoked.
