Neo-Nazis attack Afghan Community in Greece's office in Athens
Athens, Greece - Propped up on the radiator next to a battered door is a half-charred plaque that welcomes visitors to the office of the Afghan Community in Greece. The door, also burned, hangs loosely from the hinges. Inside, a wooden desk is collapsed in front of a soot-blackened wall, a shattered computer monitor toppled sideways on the ground next to it. Far-right attackers waited until office workers left for their lunch break on Thursday to break into the Afghan Community in Greece's single-room workspace, and smash computers, speakers and framed photos on the wall, before dousing the office in gasoline and setting it ablaze. "It is good that no one was here, otherwise we would have had victims," Yonous Muhammadi, former president of the Afghan Community in Greece and head of the Greek Forum of Refugees, tells Al Jazeera.
