Foreign correspondent attacked at Greek demo

ATHENS: A foreign press correspondent was attacked on Sunday during a far-right protest in central Athens against the presence of migrants in Greece, according to Greek news agency ANA. According to an AFP reporter and a video broadcast by Skai TV, the victim, working for French and German media, Thomas Jacobi, was left with facial bleeding after the attack. Jacobi collaborated with journalist Angelique Kourounis for “The Golden Dawn: A Personal Affair” documentary in 2016. “They were hitting me for four and a half minutes until some policemen appeared. None stepped in. That´s the most shocking thing”, Jacobi told the Proto Thema website. “I thought that with so many policemen there I could have done my job today. I was wrong again,” he said, adding he felt lucky for not being attacked with a knife.
