KT himself was horrified and shocked about this and tried to do find out more about this and if possible highlight it, in doing that KT sent the original blog post to Michael Fabricant MP who returned with this reply :
.@Ontablets Have asked Foreign Sec if he is aware of 'Operation in Zeus' in Greece & if he@s discussed this with Greek government
— Michael Fabricant (@Mike_Fabricant) July 5, 2013
True to his word Mr Fabricant did table the questions , these are the questions and replies :
"
Michael Fabricant (Lichfield, Conservative)
To ask the Secretary of State
for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what reports he has received on
Operation Zeus in Greece; and what discussions he has had with the Greek
government concerning the treatment of EU nationals affected by this operation.
David Lidington (Minister of State (Europe and NATO), Foreign and Commonwealth Office; Aylesbury, Conservative)
I have received regular reports form the British embassy in Both the Secretary of State for the Home Department, my right hon. Friend Mrs May, and the Minister for
And the other one :
Michael Fabricant (Lichfield, Conservative)
To ask the Secretary of State
for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has held with
his Greek counterparts regarding human rights abuses in that country;
and if he will make a statement.
David Lidington (Minister of State (Europe and NATO), Foreign and Commonwealth Office; Aylesbury, Conservative)
All EU
member states have committed to respecting human rights through the
Treaty on EU and the Charter of Fundamental Rights. The British
ambassador in Athens regularly discusses human rights with Ministers and
senior officials, including issues around racism and the asylum
process. In recent months the Greek Government
has taken positive steps to tackle racism with the introduction of a
directorate within the police force dedicated to tackling racism and
legislation aimed directly at combating racism and xenophobia. We also
expect Greece's recent efforts to develop further their system of
processing asylum KT is still concerned about this story, when a country is in chaos like Greece the rights of minorities can easily be brushed aside!
KT would also like to thank Mr Fabricant for keeping his word and taking time out to ask the minister of this concern (despite this blog publishing Mr Fabricants embarrassing "Cock Up" the following day), Thank you Mr Fabricant :)
