Dimitriadis’ lawsuit against journalists.
“The extermination lawsuit of Grigoris Dimitriadis against the Journal of Editors, Reporters United and Thanasis Koukakis is a direct attempt to silence and intimidate journalists,” he commented.
“At a time when, a year and a half later, the perpetrators of this scandal have not been held accountable and the Government often orchestrated their cover-up,” he added.
