EDITORIAL

Justice under threat The wife of the special police guard who was seriously injured in an ambush in the Cretan village of Zoniana over a year ago has decided to withdraw from being a civil plaintiff in the ongoing trial.

If her withdrawal is the result of fear, which many suspect is the case, then we are witness to a serious failure on the part of our society.

But sometimes it does not take a person being shackled, dressed in an orange jumpsuit and then «waterboarded» to feel that they are being tortured. The last few weeks, which have seen a series of political/economic scandals reappear or come to the boil, have been a form of very uniquely Greek torture.
