Weapons, slaughtering of lambs to “find arteries”, and beatings of members who wanted to leave the organization are some of the terrifying details an ex-member code-named “Witness E” of the far-right Greek party Golden Dawn, told the court during a hearing.
The witness’ experience inside the political party lasted six years, ending in 2010 when she decided to leave because she “felt disgusted by the party’s activities” and “afraid for her life”. After leaving the organisation, “Witness E” was forced to leave her job and home and go into hiding as she began receiving threats from members of the party.
The former member of Golden Dawn also said in her testimony that the party started scaling violent attacks towards foreigners and leftists in 2006 and that “knife attacks started in 2010”.
“Witness E” also spoke about the night watches around Athens and the lessons on how to exterminate the enemy. She told the court that she did not participate in these activities because “it wasn’t her nature” and that it did not “match her political ideology”.
The former member said she was in the offices of the party when Nikos Mihos, former Golden Dawn MP, cancelled a slaughtering class where he showed other members of the party how to use a knife to find arteries.
