Following Maria Margaronis' article in The Guardian, publicising allegations of torture of anti-fascist protesters by the Greek police, Human Rights Watch stated that accountability for abuse by the police is urgently needed, and called on the public prosecutor to act swiftly in order to investigate the case. The organisation said that the Ministry of Public Order and Citizen Protection should also conduct a prompt, thorough, and independent investigation. As Judith Sunderland, senior Western Europe researcher at Human Rights Watch, argued:
The scenes described by the victims to reporters are deeply shocking. [...] No one should be treated that way by the police. Greece needs to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation of their allegations and bring anyone found responsible for mistreating the detainees to justice.
