Greece Sentences 2 Afghan Men to Life in Prison; Murdered Greek Taking Wife to Hospital for Birth

A court in Greece today (September 25, 2012) sentenced two Afghan men to life in prison over the fatal stabbing and robbery of a Greek man that sparked extensive anti-immigrant riots in central Athens, according to the Fox News website.

The Greek court convicted Harodi Han Mamad and Shirzad Neinatullah of the murder of 44-year-old Manolis Kantaris on May 10, 2010, and of stealing his video camera as he was about to drive his pregnant wife to a hospital to give birth.

At least 25 people were hurt in an anti-immigrant rampage by far-right youths two days later.

A wave of xenophobic street attacks occurred in Athens for several days after the fatal stabbing.
