Ανακοίνωση με την οποία συμβουλεύει και προειδοποιεί τους Αμερικανούς πολίτες που επισκέπτονται την Ελλάδα ότι μπορεί να πέσουν θύματα ρατσιστικών επιθέσεων εξέδωσε η πρεσβεία των ΗΠΑ στην Αθήνα.
Στην ανακοίνωση αναφέρεται ότι παρατηρείται «αύξηση των απρόκλητων παρενοχλήσεων και βίαιων επιθέσεων εναντίον προσώπων που, λόγω της όψη τους, εκλαμβάνονται ως αλλοδαποί μετανάστες.
» Οι υπήκοοι των ΗΠΑ που κινδυνεύουν πιο πολύ είναι εκείνοι που έχουν αφρικανική, ασιατική, ισπανική ή μεσοανατολική καταγωγή και επισκέπτονται την Αθήνα και άλλες μεγάλες πόλεις.»
Ταυτόχρονα, η πρεσβεία των ΗΠΑ στην Αθήνα καλεί τους πολίτες της χώρας να λαμβάνουν όλα τα απαραίτητα μέτρα ασφαλείας και να ενημερώνονται διαρκώς, ώστε να παραμείνουν ασφαλείς.
United States Embassy Athens, Greece
Security Message for U.S. Citizens: Safety and Security in Greece
November 16, 2012
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. U.S. citizens
most at risk are those of African, Asian, Hispanic, or Middle Eastern descent in
Athens and other major cities. Please review the Country Specific Information for
Greece.
We encourage all U.S. citizens to review their personal security plans; remain aware
of their surroundings, including local events; monitor local news stations for updates;
and report specific incidences of targeted violence to the U.S. Embassy in Athens or
the U. S. Consulate General in Thessaloniki at the numbers below. U.S. citizens
should maintain a high level of vigilance and take appropriate steps to enhance their
personal security. For additional information, please refer to "A Safe Trip Abroad."
U.S. citizens traveling to or residing in Greece are encouraged to enroll in the
Department of State’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program. By enrolling, U.S.
citizens make it easier for the Embassy or nearest Consulate to contact them in the
case of an emergency. U.S. citizens without Internet access may register directly with
the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
Up-to-date information on security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747
toll free in the United States and Canada or, for callers outside the United States and
Canada, a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00
a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal
holidays). You can also stay up to date by bookmarking our Bureau of Consular
Affairs website, which contains the current Travel Warnings and Travel Alerts as well
as the Worldwide Caution. You can follow us on Twitter and the Bureau of Consular
Affairs page on Facebook as well.

Thessaloniki for general consular assistance and up-to-date information on conditions
in Greece. The U.S. Embassy in Athens is open 8:30am to 5:00pm Monday-Friday,
