In the last three years, 'Star TV' journalist Giorgos Karaivaz was shot dead, 'Documento' editor Kostas Vaxevanis reportedly had a contract put on his head, and 'Makelio' editor Stefanos Chios was shot at and wounded. RSF has also registered 11 attacks on media premises and journalists' homes.
After this month’s anarchist-claimed attack with explosives on Real media group premises in Athens, which follows a number of similar attacks in the past years in Greece, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) calls on the Greek authorities to speed up investigations into violence against journalists and media, and to adopt new protective measures.
