Page 29 of 46 asylum seekers on grounds of ethnic origin, religion, or skin color. Authorities reported 126 incidents motivated by hatred on various grounds, of which 84 were linked to nationality, ethnicity, race, and skin color. Several of the alleged perpetrators were police. On August 18, police announced the arrest of four Greek nationals accused of the August 12 murder of a Pakistani worker found stabbed to death. Police identified robbery as the motive; several human rights activists alleged a racist motive behind the killing. Roma continued to face widespread governmental and societal discrimination, social exclusion, and harassment, including ethnic profiling by police, alleged abuse while in police custody, discrimination in employment, limited access to education, and segregated schooling. Children Birth Registration: Citizenship was derived from Greek parents at birth; a single parent could confer citizenship on a child. Parents were obliged to register their children within 10 days of birth. The law allowed delayed birth registration but imposed a fine. Children born to non-Greek parents in the country were not conferred Greek citizenship, causing many asylum seekers to complain their children born in the country were effectively stateless. The government reported children born to non-Greek parents in the country acquired Greek citizenship from birth if they would otherwise be stateless.
