1 | Greece: Police Violence Against Immigrants on the Rise | Gresy: Mitombo Ny Herisetra Ataon'ny Polisy Amin'ireo Mpifindra Monina |
2 | Greek social media has been in uproar over a video posted on Facebook and Twitter, showing police officers overtly abusing a detained immigrant in downtown Athens. | Ambony ambany ny media sosialy Grika taorian'ny lahatsary iray nakarina tao amin'ny Facebook sy Twitter, nampiseho ireo manampahefana avy amin'ny polisy nanao tsinontsinona ampahibe-maso mpifindra-monina iray voatàna am-ponja tao an-tanànan'i Athenes. |
3 | The incident occured at the end of January 2012, whilst the exact location has not been confirmed. | Tamin'ny faran'ny Janoary 2012 no niseho ity trangan-javatra ity, fa tsy voamarina mazava tsara kosa ny toerana tena nisiany. |
4 | Motorized police (DIAS in Greek) as well as people in plain clothes, brutalized the detainee, who didn't resist arrest, as the video shows clearly: | Ireo polisy mandeha fiara (DIAS ho an-dry zareo Grika) hatraminà olona manao fitafy tsotra, no nampiasa herisetra tamin'ilay olona voatàna, izy tsy nanohitra akory ny fisamborana azy, araka izay anehoan'ilay lahatsary azy tsara : |
5 | According to film director Nikos Soulis, who recorded the incident, the man was burning garbage, endangering the cars parked beside them: | Araka ny ambaran'i Nikos Soulis, talem-pamokarana horonantsary, izay nandrakitra ilay tranga, nandoro fanariam-pako iray ilay zalahy io, mety hitera-doza ho an'ireo fiara niantsona teo akaiky teo izany: |
6 | @nikosoulis: @Louki_p he was burning garbage bags. .parked cars were endangered. | @nikosoulis: @Louki_p nandoro kitapo fanariam-pako lery.. notandindonin-doza ireo fiara niantsona teo. |
7 | They did well to arrest him, but then what? | Tsara ny nisamboran-dry zareo azy, saingy inona no nanaraka? |
8 | Why? | Nahoana? |
9 | Police launched an administrative review over the incident, but the witness stated on Facebook that he wasn't called to testify, although he submitted the video to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Greece. | Nanokatra fanadihadiana anatiny mikasika ilay tranga ny Polisy, saingy nilaza tao amin'ny Facebook ilay vavolombelona nanatri-maso fa tsy mba isan'izay nampanantsoina hametraka fanamarinana, na dia napetrany tany amin'ny Kaomisera Ambonin'ny Firenena Mikambana Miahy ny Mpitsoa-ponenana tao Gresy aza ilay lahatsary. |
10 | Administrative reviews, often ineffective, have been ordered in the past over similar incidents. | Fanadihadiana anatiny, izay matetika tsy tonga hatraiza akory, no efa nisy sy nampanaovina fahiny taminà tranga mitovitovy amin'izao. |
11 | In response to a comment by the Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chrisochoidis (@chrisochoidis), on the occasion of the anniversary of the military coup of April 21, 1967, journalist Damian Mac Con Uladh (@damomac) urged the minister to take immediate action: | Ho valin'ny fanehoan-kevitra iray nataon'ny Minisitra Mpiahy ny Vahoaka, Michalis Chrisochoidis (@chrisochoidis), tamin'ny fankalazana ny tsingerintaonan'ny fanonganam-panjakana nataon'ny miaramila tamin'ny 21 April 1967, i Damian Mac Con Uladh (@damomac) mpanao gazety dia nanentana an'ilay minisitra mba handray fepetra avy hatrany: |
12 | @chrisochoidis: Even an injured democracy is better than no democracy. | @chrisochoidis: Aleo demaokrasia maratra toy izay tsy misy demaokrasia mihitsy. |
13 | @damomac: @chrisochoidis Minister, please assist in helping this “wounded democracy” by dismissing those cops who beat this man! | @damomac: @chrisochoidis Atoa Minisitra, miangavy anao hanohana amin'ny fanampiana ity “demaokrasia maratra” ity amin'ny alàlan'ny fandroahana ireo polisy nidaroka io lehilahy io ! |
14 | Although mainstream media mostly ignored the incident, reactions on social media were immediate and intense, and it was also publicized by activists abroad: | Na dia tsy niraharaha ilay tranga aza ny ankamaroan'ireo fampahalalam-baovao nahazatra, teo noho eo sy natevina kosa ny fanehoan-kevitra tany amin'ireo media sosialy, ary mbola navoakan'ireo mafàna fo tany ivelany koa aza: |
15 | @teacherdude: No mention on Greek TV news of savage beating of immigrant in Athens by police caught on video http://www.youtube.com/watch? | @teacherdude: Tsy nisy fanamarihana tao amin'ny vaovaon'ny TV Grika mikasika ilay fidarohana miharo habibiana nataon'ny polisy tamin'ilay mpifindra monina tao Athenes ary voarakitra tanaty lahatsary http://www.youtube.com/watch? |
16 | v=RG4Cf1T8bR4 Hardly surprising. | v=RG4Cf1T8bR4 Tsy atao mahagaga. |
17 | @SykoFantiS: Is there anyone who thinks that the DIAS teams are [serving and protecting]? | @SykoFantiS: Mbola misy ve olona mihevitra fa ny ekipan'ny DIAS dia [manompo sy miaro] azy? |
18 | @v_emman: This isn't a police, it's a gang of thugs. | @v_emman: Tsy polisy izao, fa andian-jiolahim-boto. |
19 | I'm ashamed on your behalf. http://j.mp/Id5a2W @hellenicpolice | Mahamenatra ahy ny fitondrantenanareo. http://j.mp/Id5a2W @hellenicpolice |
20 | @libertarian: @hellenicpolice I once saw a detainee fitted with a helmet and kicked on the head in the 4th precinct. | @libertarian: @hellenicpolice Indray andro aho nahita olona voatàna, nisatroka aroloha, voadakadaka teny amin'ny lohany tao amin'ny kaomisarian'ny boriborintany faha-4. |
21 | Numerous incidents of police violence against immigrants have been documented in the past, while in 2007, the publication of a video showing immigrants being abused in a police precinct caused an international furore. | Tranganà herisetra marobe nataon'ny polisy tamin'ireo mpifindra monina no efa notaterina fahiny, tamin'ny 2007, ny famoahana lahatsary iray nampiseho mpifindra monina iray nanaovana herisetra tao aminà kaomisaria iray dia niteraka hatezerna nanerana izao tontolo izao. |
22 | By August 2008, the Greek police had been convicted at least nine times by the European Court of Human Rights for incidents of abuse. | Ny Aogositra 2008, ny polisy Grika dia efa in-tsivy raha kely indrindra no voaheloky ny Fitsarana Eoropeana Miaro ny Zon'Olombelona noho ny tranganà herisetra. |
23 | In its trial run, the Network to Record Incidents of Racist Violence recorded 63 incidents during the last 2 months of 2011, of which 18 are linked to police violence, and noted that “racist violence is spreading at a terrifying rate”. | Tanatin'ny traikefa ara-pitsarana nizorany, ny Network to Record Incidents of Racist Violence, na Tambajotra Handraketana ireo Herisetra noho ny Fanavakavahana, dia nahangona tranga 63 nandritra ireo volana roa farany tamin'ny 2011, ka ny 18 tamin'ireny dia nifandray daholo tamin'ny herisetra nataon'ny polisy, ary nomarihany fa “mihanaka ny herisetra noho ny fanavakavahana sady amin'ny taha mampivarahontsana”. |
24 | In a recent report, in view of the upcoming review of Greece by the United Nations' Committee Against Torture, international human rights NGO Human Rights Watch called the country's attempts to protect immigrants and vulnerable groups “totally insufficient”, while in it's annual review for 2011, independent research network RED held up Greece as the most typical example of the outburst of racist violence and impunity in Europe. | Tao anaty tatitra nivoaka vao haingana, ho fiomanana amin'ny jery todika momba an'i Gresy atsy ho atsy havoakan'ny Kaomisionan'ny Firenena Mikambana Manohitra ny Fampijaliana, dia notondroin'ny ONG iraisam-pirenena mpiaro ny zon'olombelona Human Rights Watch ho “tsy ampy tanteraka” ny ezaky ny firenena ho fiarovana ireo mpifindra monina sy ireo vondrona marefo, raha tao anatin'ny jery todika fanaony isan-taona ho an'ny 2011, ny tambajotram-pikarohana tsy miankina RED dia nandray an'i Gresy ho ohatra mibaribarin'ny fipoahan'ny herisetra noho ny fanavankavahana sy ny tsimatimanota ao Eoropa. |
25 | During his previous tenure as Citizen Protection Minister, Mr. Chrisochoidis had committed to founding a bureau to address incidents of police abuse: | Nandritra ny fe-potoam-piasany teo aloha tamin'ny naha-Minisitra Mpiahy ny Vahoaka azy, Atoa Chrisochoidis dia niezaka nanangana birao iray hiatrika ireo tranganà fihoaram-pefy ataon'ny polisy |
26 | @chrisochoidis: . | @chrisochoidis: . |
27 | @asteris On GAPA [the bureau]: its investigative capacity has been upgraded, and it acquires increased formal power, as it will be ratified by law, rather than by presidential decree | @asteris momba ny GAPA [ilay birao]: nasondrotra ny fahafahany manadihady, ary ilainy ny fitomboan'ny fahefana omen'ny lalàna, ary hohamafisin'ny lalàna izany, fa tsy fanapahana avy amin'ny filoham-panjakana. |
28 | The ‘Bureau tο Address Abuse Incidents' was founded by law [el] on March 2011, but has still to become operational. | Ny ‘Birao natao Hiatrika ireo Tranganà Fihoaram-pefy” dia natsangana araka ny lalàna [el] tamin'ny Martsa 2011, saingy mbola eo ampiandrasana ny tena ho firotsahana an-tsehatra. |
29 | Greek NGO Hellenic League for Human Rights called [el] the legislative act “a clear setback” and “a much worse scenario” than what had originally been announced. | Ny ONG Grika Hellenic League for Human Rights dia niantso [el] ilay didy ho “fihemorana mazava” sy “seho iray faran'izay ratsy” noho izay efa nambara tany am-piandohana. |
30 | The Bureau will not be an independent agency, as Michalis Chrysochoidis had originally stated, and as the online public consultation had specified, but what the new bill provides for is a tripartite [judiciary] committee. | Tsy ho masoivoho tsy miankina akory ilay birao, araka izay nambaran'i Michalis Chrysochoidis tany am-piandohana, ary araka ny fanamarihan'ny fakàna ny hevitry ny daholobe teny anivon'ny aterineto, saingy araka ny napetrak'ilay tolo-dalàna vaovao dia ho kaomity [n-dalàna] iarahan'ny telo tonta mitantana. |
31 | This committee, as clarified, will have no capacity to investigate complaints, but only to rule on whether they are acceptable, essentially inhibiting criminal investigation. | Ity kaomity ity, araka ny nazavaina, dia tsy hanana fahefana hanadihady fitarainana, fa fotsiny hanapaka raha toa ka azo raisina izy ireny, ary mibahana ny fanaovana fanadihadiana ny heloka bevava. |
32 | Over 2,400 members have joined a Facebook group [el] created after the brutal crackdown of protests at Syntagma Square, Athens, on June 28-29, 2011, in order to collect documentation on police violence, whilst almost 15,000 members have joined an older Facebook Cause titled ‘Stop Greek police brutality', created on the day after the police killing of 15-year old Alexandros Grigoropoulos. | Maherin'ny 2.400 ireo mpikambana nirotsaka ho ao amin'ilay vondrona Facebook [el] natsangana taorian'ny fampanginana an-terisetra ireo hetsi-panoherana tao amin'ny kianjan'i Syntagma, Athenes, tamin'ny 28-29 Jona 2011, natao hanangonana antontan-kevitra momba ny herisetra ataon'ny polisy, raha nanodidina ny 15.000 kosa ireo mpikambana nirotsaka ho ao amin'ilay pejy Facebook misy tanjona, nitondra ny anarana hoe ‘Atsaharo ny habibiana ataon'ny polisy Grika', noforonina iray andro taorian'ny namonoan'ny polisy an'i Alexandros Grigoropoulos 15 taona. |
