The United States is warning its citizens travelling in Greece about the recent wave of violent attacks on those who look like “foreign migrants” amid the rise of a neo-Nazi party in the economically beleaguered country.

“The U.S. Embassy informs U.S. citizens that the ‘Threats To Safety and Security’ section of the Greece country specific information page has been updated to inform U.S. citizens of a rise in unprovoked harassment and violent attacks against persons who, because of their complexion, are perceived to be foreign migrants,” an updated note on the U.S. embassy in Athens’ website said.

“U.S. citizens most at risk are those of African, Asian, Hispanic, or Middle Eastern descent in Athens and other major cities.”
