Greece will set up a national shelter network in response to woman’s slaying outside police station
Greece’s minister in charge of police announced plans Monday to set up a nationwide network of domestic violence shelters, days after the fatal stabbing of a woman outside a police station.
The April 2 killing of 28-year Kyriaki Griva occurred as she was seeking police protection from her ex-boyfriend. The man was arrested and taken into custody after the stabbing north of Athens that has refocused national attention on domestic violence.
Michalis Chrisochoidis, the minister for citizens’ protection, said Monday that shelters would be set up in every police precinct in Greece under a program that would be formally launched later this week. https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1235880/greece-will-set-up-a-national-shelter-network-in-response-to-womans-slaying-outside-police-station/

New secret tape reveals top Post Office lawyer was warned of 'wrongful' convictions decade ago
A secret recording obtained by ITV News reveals the Post Office’s most senior lawyer was warned by independent investigators more than a decade ago that it may have misled the courts and pressured sub-postmasters into “wrongful and unsafe” guilty pleas.
The recording was of a meeting held between the Post Office’s former General Counsel Chris Aujard and Second Sight forensic accountants Ian Henderson and Ron Warmington in December 2013.
It shows the two men presented a damning assessment of the Post Office’s conduct in its investigations and prosecutions of sub-postmasters, who they found were denied the right to defend themselves and forced into “courtroom step deals” with little choice but to plead guilty. https://www.itv.com/news/2024-04-03/secret-2013-tape-shows-top-post-office-lawyer-was-warned-of-unsafe-convictions
