An arson attack took place in a muslim worship place in Agioi Anargyroi, Athens at the end of the Ramadan period. Unknown persons threw 6 bottles of gazoline setting the worship place on fire. According to the NGO "Antiracism-Fascism" this was a racist incident connected to a previous attack with knives and sticks against migrants. The NGO helds the local police responsible as they didn't filed the migrants' complaint on the first attack.
