Athener Kaffee-Tagebuch: Krasopoulio tou Kokkora in Psirri
Nach dem Besuch der Akropolis wollte ich ursprünglich in das sagenumwobene Little Kook, ein legendäres Café im Stadtteil Psirri. Das war allerdings damit beschäftigt eine fulminante Weihnachtsdekoration zu installieren und war deshalb geschlossen. Ich schlenderte ziellos durchs Viertel, nicht wissend, das just an der Rückseite des Cafés ein leckeres Essen auf mich wartet. So wurde es ein längerer…

Death in Police Custody in Greece
Independent Investigation Urgently Needed
Tumblr media
The death of Muhammad Kamran Ashiq, a 37-year-old Pakistani man in police custody in Athens on September 21, demands an immediate and thorough independent investigation. Disturbing images circulating online appear to show severe injuries to Ashiq's body, fueling questions about the circumstances surrounding his death.
In a statement on September 26, the police said Ashiq had been arrested a few days earlier in connection with a domestic violence incident. According to the statement, a minor incident occurred between Ashiq and other detainees, and he was immediately moved to another area of the station. Police officers found Ashiq unconscious the morning of September 21, the statement said. It added that a preliminary investigation is underway, including a forensic examination and autopsy, to determine the exact cause of death.
The grassroots Movement United Against Racism and the Fascist Threat (KEERFA) claims that Ashiq was transferred between five different police stations and denied access to his family and lawyer before his death. In 2012, Human Rights Watch documented allegations of police misconduct at Aghios Panteleimonas station, where Ashiq died.
In July, the Council of Europe Committee for the Prevention of Torture said that during a visit to Greece in 2023, it “again received several credible and consistent allegations of deliberate physical ill-treatment of detained foreign nationals by police officers in certain police stations [Omonia and Kolonos] in Athens.”
These accounts, coupled with the European Court of Human Rights' repeated condemnation of Greece for its failure to address ill-treatment by police, underscore the need for action

Hey! I seem to remember you talking about Greek coffee shops in NYC. I'm at a place in a fic where that seems like an ideal setting for the next scene, but I've only ever been to Greek pizzerias and diners. I was wondering if you remember what the atmosphere was like, or maybe if you had any favorite places I could look up and browse menus? No worries if this is too big an ask!
--
Not at all!
I lived in the area around 2006-2011. I was in Astoria, which is the old Greek neighborhood in Queens. Even by the time I lived there, a lot of the Greek residents were moving further out but still owned the businesses. The waitstaff were often fresh arrivals from the Balkans.
(So, you know, keep in mind that neighborhoods turn over if you're trying to write something set in 2022 that New Yorkers think sounds right. And also, if you want to set it in one of these cafes, your characters are going to Queens specifically.)
One of the cafes I used to frequent had a disco ball and a DJ playing eurodance for Sunday brunch. It had no dance floor. It just looked like a sketchy nightclub at 10 a.m. while serving halloumi sandwiches and iced coffees. Because Astoria.
Many of them had fancy TV subscriptions so they could play no good local soccer from Greece. All of them had a lot of sidewalk tables where people would sit nursing the same frappé for hours. Many had full bars despite mostly being coffee places with sandwiches.
The one all the tourists liked was Omonia. I thought it was absolutely disgusting. One of the desserts I got there had filling that tasted like it was full of tarry chemical sludge.
I'm pretty sure I used to go to Ovelia a lot, but they're more of a restaurant. A lot of the places I remember that are still there are expensive seafood restaurants. I can't figure out what most of the cafes were called, and I think they've closed or moved by now...
And as I type that, I suddenly remember that all of the actually good Greek cafes were not on yelp back when I lived there. We, in fact, chose where to go based on lack of yelp presence...
Here's one I think I went to. They'd have been serving more things like the lountza halloumi sandwich when I was in the neighborhood and fewer of the non-Greek things. The big thing they all served was the classic Greek frappé. Most of them also served some Greek sour cherry soda.

Man Utd Story Behind The Shot series goal scoring theme
Man Utd Story Behind The Shot series goal scoring theme
FINDING THE GAP Image taken: During the Omonia Nicosia match on 13 October.  Ash says: “After photographing countless football matches, I’ve learned there’s no such thing as a ‘perfect’ position to shoot from. At Old Trafford, working in the North East and North West corners is great because I’m behind the advertising boards, meaning any stewards have to walk behind me to get past, so they don’t…

Omonia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho: "It's a dream come true for me. I have dreamed to play here for a long, long time. When I saw the draw and I figured I would be playing at Old Trafford, I prayed to God that I got an opportunity to play." [BT Sport]
Fair play to this guy who had a blinder last night!

Manchester United 2 - 1 Everton
Manchester United come away with the win... somehow. It did not start off well for United as conceded just 5 minutes into the match due to a mistake from Casemiro. Antony luckily tied it up just 10 minutes later. Things did not get any better as Martial had to come off and went straight down the tunnel. There was rumors floating around Twitter that Martial had left warmups clutching his hip. As he walked down the tunnel, he was holding his right hip and limping. He was sadly replaced by [Redacted]. Even more sadly, United’s second goal was scored by [Redacted].
The final minutes of the match were nerve-wracking as Everton had 3 corners back to back to back in stoppage time that included Pickford coming up for it. Luckily the match ended before Everton were able to equalize. This win means United have gone up to 5th just 1 point behind Chelsea. 
Next up for United is a Europa League match against Omonia Nicosia at Old Trafford and a Premier League match against Newcastle at Old Trafford.

TOGETHER IN SOLIDARITY
The context is terrible, but the meeting is amazing. After marching under a torrid heat, in the gates of the reception centre of Eleonas formed a huge assembly between refugees, asylums and solidarians. A circle of old and new, of diverse ethnic backgrounds and diverse languages.
After yet another violent police intervention in the center of Athens, with the eviction of more than 100 refugees and asylums in the precarious conditions of the camp of Eleonas, in the south of the city, the support movement acting in solidarity made a demonstration. During several days it was this self- organized group that,  in Victoria Square, in the center of Athens, supported the migrants that met there. The police arrived by dawn, avoiding the public eye and evicted the refugees in a temporary camp and took 12 people to the police headquarters. In reaction, the next day, the past wednesday, June 17th, several dozens made a peaceful demonstration. Eleonas is an industrial area, where the small ‘temporary’ asylum center is located since 2015. It was built for a maximum capacity of 700 people, but much more than double the numbers has been taken for the past years.
In the popular assembly after the demonstration the migrants complained of the precarious conditions of the center. Flaws in the food distribution, sanitary conditions and improper structures, several concerns were shared. Children played idly. We were there together, sited in the shadow of this moment. I felt relief for being there sited, as in the beginning of a new time. But I also know that once these hours are over, each one of us will return to his/her place and this profound injustice will live through...
Tomorrow, saturday, June 20th at 14h in Omonia Square, in the center of Athens there’s a protest in support of the refugees. It was set by different anti- racist and antifascist movements and solidarity platforms. The demonstration is against the anti-refugee policy and politics of the Greek and European States. The joint declaration emphasizes the thousands of evictions announced by the Greek state: “The government announced the eviction of more than 11.000 recognized refugees from their residencies. 2.500 from camps, 600 from hotels and 7.400 from apartments. They plan to throw them in the street, adding thousands to the country homeless. The N. D. government acts accordingly to a previous governmental law from SYRIZA that predicted evictions after 6 months and worsened it, granting eviction just one month after granting asylum”.
The same declaration adds: “We are fighting together, locals and refugees, to live together in peace, locals and refugees in our cities and villages. To build a resistance and solidarity wall so that the evictions plan doesn’t go forward”.

Athener Kaffee-Tagebuch: Omonia
Die eindrucksvollste Art nach Athen zu kommen ist sicherlich die aus der Luft. Zuerst war da noch die See, dann taucht am Horizont die weiße Stadt auf, ein schier endloses Häusermeer, durchbrochen von einigen Bergen. Hier aus der Luft wird man sich erst der gewaltigen Ausmaße der Stadt bewusst – mit seinen 38,980 km² ist es mehr als zehnmal so groß wie München! Schon überfliegt man die ersten…

Dabet đưa tin: Antony học Ronaldo mỗi ngày
Antony là cầu thủ Man Utd đầu tiên ghi bàn ở cả ba trận đầu tại Ngoại hạng Anh. Sao trẻ Brazil đang dần thích nghi với sân Old Trafford dù chịu áp lực lớn từ vụ chuyển nhượng trị giá 100 triệu USD hè vừa qua. Antony cho rằng sự giúp đỡ của đồng đội, gồm Cristiano Ronaldo, đã giúp anh khởi đầu suôn sẻ.
"Từ khi tôi tới đây, Ronaldo luôn giúp đỡ", Antony nói trên tờ A Bola ngày 14/10. "Tôi học từ Ronaldo mỗi ngày, được anh ấy chia sẻ rất nhiều. Anh ấy luôn khuyên tôi giữ bình tĩnh và tự tin. Tâm lý của Ronaldo mạnh mẽ. Anh ấy luôn hướng đến ngày mai, một cầu thủ chuyên nghiệp hàng đầu".

Antony xem Ronaldo như tấm gương để các cầu thủ trẻ noi theo. Theo tiền vệ sinh năm 2000, Ronaldo có sự nghiệp vĩ đại nhưng không bao giờ muốn đứng yên tận hưởng mọi thứ. "Tôi sẽ mang theo những kinh nghiệm được Ronaldo truyền lại đến cuối đời", Antony nói thêm.
Antony là bản hợp đồng đắt thứ ba lịch sử Man Utd, sau Paul Pogba và Romelu Lukaku. Nhưng, anh được cho là hòa nhập nhanh nhờ cá tính cởi mở, hài hước và sôi nổi. Ở trận đấu với Everton ở Ngoại hạng Anh tuần trước, Antony cùng Ronaldo làm động tác mừng bàn thắng theo dáng ngủ của siêu sao Bồ Đào Nha. Antony cũng thường xuyên ca ngợi Ronaldo và các đồng đội trên mạng xã hội.
Sau khởi đầu khó khăn, Man Utd thắng bốn trong năm trận Ngoại hạng Anh gần nhất để leo lên thứ năm. Họ sẽ gặp Newcastle ở vòng 10 vào Chủ nhật 16/10. Tại Europa League, trận thắng Omonia mới đây giúp chủ sân Old Trafford chỉ cần thêm một điểm trong hai trận còn lại để qua vòng bảng.
Cá nhân Antony đặt mục tiêu dự World Cup 2022 vào tháng sau. Nhưng, mức độ cạnh tranh cho vị trí chạy cánh phải ở tuyển Brazil lúc này rất khốc liệt, với những ngôi sao khác như Raphinha, Richarlison và Rodrygo.
