St. Albans Greek Orthodox Community demands accountability for Tempi disaster

·

The Greek Orthodox Community of St. Albans has issued a message of solidarity ahead of the second anniversary of the Tempi train tragedy on February 28.

Full message in English:

The Greek Orthodox Community of St. Albans, echoing the feelings of the wider Melbourne community, shares the tremendous effort made by the “Association of Relatives of Tempi Victims 2023” to bring the whole truth to the surface and to stop the cover-up and cover-up of the crime.

We also join our voices from Melbourne to express our solidarity in your sacred struggle, in order to ensure justice is served and those responsible for the Tempi tragedy are convicted.

On Friday, February 28 at 12 noon, we will also go to the Greek Consulate to demand that the diachronic responsibilities of the Governments, current and previous, for the tragic state of the railways be meted out.

We also send our unwavering support, our hugs and our love to the relatives of the victims. We may live far from Greece and be on the other side of the world, but you are very close to our hearts and we feel the heavy burden of pain in the ordeal you are going through.

For the Board of Directors
Areti Akamati
President
