Racist Violence Recording Network: Justice to uphold the Rule of Law in Greece
The Racist Violence Recording Network is following with great interest the Golden Dawn trial, to which it has been summoned to testify on behalf of the legal team of the "Egyptian fishermen case" – one of 154 incidents that the Network recorded in 2012.
Since its establishment in 2011, the Racist Violence Recording Network has repeatedly sounded the alarm over the dramatic increase in the number of racist attacks and how they were carried out. According to the victims' testimonies, the most common practice, especially between 2009 and 2013, was for "patrolling" of organized black-clad pedestrians or motorcyclists as self-appointed hit squads attacking refugees and migrants on the streets, squares, or at public transport stops. In several cases of particularly brutal attacks, the victims identified among the perpetrators, people associated with Golden Dawn, who were bearing its distinctive insignia. Only a few of these incidents were officially reported to the police. The victims testified to the inability or reluctance of the prosecuting authorities to conduct adequate investigations and arrests, while most of the victims who did not have legal documents, did not report to the authorities for fear of arrest and deportation.

Roadmap was a very successful European project funded by AMIF, implemented by a wide and full of expertise consortium during 1/01/2017 – 31/12/2018. Roadmap promoted the entry and labor market integration of migrants, asylum seekers and beneficiaries of international protection in the European policy on migration. The project's main activity was the creation and operation of a 'Guidance Bureau' in each of the five countries that participated in the project. Each partner-operated for 12 hours per a week for 15 months an open service for the persons of concern providing them with job counseling and market-oriented advice. ARSIS staff was trained through a common European methodology that was created during the project, and sufficiently served 139 people in Thessaloniki.
The experience gained by Roadmap, and the methodology guides will be a key asset to the proposed project. Having already a complete methodology, specially designed during the refugee crisis, by any organization who work with migrants and refugees, for the entry and labor market integration of migrants, asylum seekers, and beneficiaries of international protection is considered a strong advantage of the proposal.
