Government to extends coverage of ‘Panic Button’ app for domestic violence victims
Greece’s government announced on Monday that the “Panic Button” app will be provided to all adult victims of domestic violence of both sexes across the country.
Until now, the “Panic Button” mobile app has been provided by police stations as well as by the advisory centers of the General Secretariat for Equality and Human Rights, only to female victims of domestic violence residing in Athens and Thessaloniki.
Since March 2023, the app has allowed domestic violence victims to discreetly notify the police of their abuse, undetected by their abuser. https://www.ekathimerini.com/news/1239197/government-to-extends-coverage-of-panic-button-app-for-domestic-violence-victims/

Corfu: Brutal beating of a minor by a 15-year-old boy
A 16-year-old, a high school student, was the victim of a savage beating in Corfu.
The incident occurred at 10 o’clock on Friday night, when the minor student went to a central point in Corfu and specifically to the ‘Psychiatriou’ Square with his friends.
Then another student invited him to enter the area of the former Psychiatric Hospital where there is a ‘refreshment’ room to talk.
According to the father’s allegations, when his son went there, the-15 year-old, began to hit him with punches and kicks, to the point that the child fell unconscious. Despite this, he continued to hit him while he was on the ground.
After a short time the 15-year-old fled and the 16-year-old was taken to the hospital where he was treated as a multi-injury victim with a broken nose, broken jaw, dislocated knee and bruises on his body.
The parents proceeded to file a complaint at Corfu Police Station and began the process of locating the 15-year-old who was arrested on Saturday morning. At the same time his parents were also arrested for neglect of supervision of a minor. https://en.protothema.gr/corfu-brutal-beating-of-a-minor-by-a-15-year-old-boy/
