I am a victim of torture in Greece: I have not seen proper justice done in 5 years! Meanwhile many others have been tortured. This happens in Europe and we must make the world aware of the level of human rights abuse that happens in the EU and that goes unchallenged.

It is time to protest! Please support this appeal!
