On Thursday February 27, at noon, volunteers of One Happy Family were attacked by fascists in their car on Lesvos. The car has the logo of the NGO on it. The video records the attack. The two volunteers were trapped by the crowd that were breaking the windows of the car, while some tried to get the driver and front-seat passenger out. People scream”Get them out”.
According to testimonies given to the The press Project regarding the perpetrators, these are persons who appeared in other episodes that have taken place in Lesvos in recent days . In the article The Press Project stated that this material will be handed over to the public prosecutor’s office to look for those responsible and involved in attacking volunteers.
