Pic shows: Greek journalist, Anthi Pazianou, has become the target of a personal attack by a far-right group of individuals. A journalist is taking legal action against anti-refugee activists who targeted her for highlighting the story of a nine-year-old girl who was attacked for wearing a headscarf. Anthi Pazianou, who writes for papers on the Greek island of Lesbos, wrote that far-right extremists had attacked the girl in a churchyard after mistaking her for a migrant. They reportedly thought the local girl, from the town of Gera, was a Muslim because of her headscarf when in fact she was wearing it for medical reasons. Police were called to the scene and the attackers apologised to the mother of the child who decided not to file a complaint against them. Ms Pazianou, a journalist with the 'Embros' and 'I Kathimerini' newspapers on the island, reportedly offended the group by reporting the story. It led to Ms Pazianou, who is the mother of a three-year-old child, becoming the victim of personal attacks on social media, according to reports. A photo of Ms Pazianou with migrants at the island's Moria refugee camp was featured on a Facebook group page, along with offensive messages. Ms Pazianou commented: "This far-right and hideous attack is purely sexist and repeats what is being said about professional journalists on the island of Lesbos." She has filed a lawsuit against four individuals, three men and a woman, and requested they be taken into custody. Two of the four were arrested but later freed. The administrator of the Facebook page has not been named but is said to be a merchant and former member of the Greek navy from Gera town. Members of the Facebook group have reportedly made posts calling for patrols to drive immigrants and asylum seekers off the island. However, they do not describe themselves as a far-right group but as frustrated citizens who see their island being overrun by refugees. Lesbos lies close to the Turkish coast and is a major

Pics shows: Arkady Babchenko comment about British media; The 'murdered' Ukrainian journalist critical of the Kremlin who faked his death in order to help cops catch an assassin has told the British media to "go f*ck themselves" over criticism of the stunt. Arkady Babchenko, 41, who shocked people when he turned up at a press conference still alive, after earlier reports of his death at the hands of a Kremlin-backed assassin, posted the statement on his Facebook page. He said: "The British media is questioning whether there is really more harm than good that came from what I did? Dear British press, would you please go and f*ck yourselves? If you want to do something useful however, you can give me a British passport and British protection. Then you will have the right to teach me how I should save myself and my family. F*cking smart-a*ses!" A considerable portion of the British media warned that the stunt might have done more harm than good, including Lindsey Hilsum, the international editor for Channel 4 News, who tweeted: "So now every time a journalist is murdered, those responsible will unleash their bots and propagandists to say it’s fake news. "Thanks, Ukrainian security services. That’s really helpful to all who care about journalists’ safety." Leonid Ragozin, a former BBC and Russian Newsweek journalist, tweeted: "Babchenko’s death turns out to be fake news of the century. "A mindless and tragic mistreatment of public empathy that discredits so many things at once – Ukraine, Russian liberals, journalists. Only Kremlin wins." Sun journalist John Lucas added: "This will be a massive propaganda boost for Putin and his supporters and doesn’t do much to help journos also facing threats." The row follows on from claims now known to be false that Russian anti-Putin journalist Arkady Babchenko had been shot in the back by an unidentified killer at his home in Kiev one year after fleeing Russia over concerns for his safety. Babchenko, 41, was a
