Two Afghan men convicted of stabbing to death Manolis Kantaris to steal his camera as he went down to his car to drive his pregnant wife to the hospital were sentenced to life and 23 years in prison by an Athens Court on Sept. 25.
Kantaris was stabbed to death right outside his house in Athens. The court convicted Harodi Han Mamad and Shirzad Neinatullah of the murder of the 44-year-old Kantaris on May 10, 2010, and of stealing his video camera while his wife was inside the house.
At least 25 people were hurt in an anti-immigrant rampage by far-right youths two days later — starting a wave of xenophobic street attacks in Athens at a time when the neo-Nazi Golden party was urging the removal of all immigrants from Greece.
