“The Union of Judges and Prosecutors condemns the terrorist act of sending an explosive device to the Court of Appeal of Thessaloniki targeting Judicial Officers of the aforementioned Court.

The commission of such criminal acts in an area that is flooded daily by police forces causes strong feelings of insecurity in all citizens.

Each Government must take all the necessary safeguards to create a safe environment for the exercise of judicial function and has a fundamental obligation to create the conditions and necessary conditions for the existence of an organized and efficient state mechanism.

The country’s Judicial and Prosecution Officers are not deterred by such actions and will continue to perform their duties in accordance with the Constitution and Laws of the Greek State.

We call on the Government to take all the necessary measures, because it is a matter of Democracy, that Justice is awarded under conditions of calmness and sobriety and not under the state of threats and violence against Judicial Officers”.
