Grievous Bodily Harm Dept: Ilias Kassidiaris, 32, faces charges of attempted grievous bodily harm over last June's incident, in which he repeatedly slapped one woman and threw a glass of water at another before running away. The attack followed an exchange of verbal abuse, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Lawmakers voted 205-3 Wednesday to strip Kassidiaris of the immunity from prosecution enjoyed by all Greek parliamentarians. No trial date has been set. Kassidiaris is the spokesman for Golden Dawn, a populist anti-immigrant party that rose from the margins of politics to win 18 of Parliament's 300 seats later last June. The party rejects the neo-Nazi label but is fond of Nazi literature and references.
