Two Pakistani immigrants were savagely beaten in an apparent racist attack by a gang in Nikaia, a southern suburb of Athens, on Wednesday.

The incident became publicly known on Friday when a video of the attack was shown on major Greek TV networks.

According to the Pakistani immigrants, a group of about 15 people attacked them as they were walking in a central square of the suburb.

“They hit me a lot, they punched me as if they were boxing. I fell down and they started kicking,” said Amir, one of the victims of the racist attack, who was rushed to the hospital suffering from facial and body injuries.

Federico Carta aka Crisa For ATHENSAF

Federico Carta aka Crisa was born in Cagliari, Sardinia in 1984. He’s a self taught artist who began the graffiti around 1996. Walls, recycled materials and canvas became his surfaces to paint.

His personal style as a combination of various materials and techniques lead to a diversity of themes relative to nature and metropolis. Using environmental themes and urban scenery through his inspiration from abandoned cities where nature has took over the control, he has managed to balance plants, antennas, washing machines, wastelands and buildings creating an imaginary result.

He has just completed a mural combining geometries and spheres, ropes and pipes with natural elements, giving the sense of an urban forest. This chaos produce its own harmony in which the selected colors undoubtedly contribute. Blue inspired by the Greek flag and yellow which is the main color of the neighborhood.
