A Syrian refugee disabled after being shot in a Greek coast guard pursuit in 2014 is demanding 100,000 euros ($111,000) in damages from the Greek state, a report said Saturday.
The 68-year-old man, who now lives in Sweden, submitted his case to a court on the island of Rhodes, local daily Dimokratiki said.
The plaintiff was badly hurt in September 2014 when Greek coast guards fired on a smuggler’s speedboat in a drawn-out chase near the island of Kalymnos.
