Greece: ill-treatment, shootings and impunity

This document is a summary of a detailed report: GREECE: In the Shadow of Impunity — Ill-treatment and the Misuse of Firearms (AI Index: EUR 25/022/2002) issued jointly by Amnesty International (AI) and the International Helsinki Federation for Human Rights (IHF), in September 2002. The full report documents many individual cases, analyses the concerns they raise, and examines relevant provisions of international human rights law and Greek law. In compiling this report, the reports, research and expertise of the IHF’s member committee, Greek Helsinki Monitor (GHM), have been essential and the work of the Minority Rights Group-Greece (MRG-G) has also been drawn upon extensively.
