On Friday, September 21, Zak Kostopoulos, an activist of the LGBTIQ+ movement, HIV positive, antifascist and drag queen (Zackie Oh), was brutally assassinated in the center of Athens in public view. The murder was instigated by “outraged citizens” with the tolerance and accomplicity of men of the Greek Police. It was followed by an unprecedented operation of covering up the murder, misinforming the public, and re-victimizing the victim. The famous Greek rock singer Pavlos Pavlidis wrote the song “A Different Little Child” and Μarina Danezi directed the video clip of the song dedicated to Zak’s memory and to the struggle of lgbtqi+ movement for justice.
