U junu prošle godine, novinar Manolis Kypraios trajno je izgubio čulo sluha kad je jedan policajac bacio pred njega šok-bombu tokom nereda na trgu Sintagma, što je izazvalo reakcije od strane grupa za zaštitu ljudskih prava.
Last June, journalist Manolis Kypraios permanently lost his hearing when a police officer threw a stun grenade at him during a riot in Syntagma Square, prompting reactions from human rights groups.
