Grenades made by the Chemring group ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemring) used in recent protests in Athens and Thessaloniki, not just tear gas used, also some kind of fragmentation grenade, and noise grenades made by Chemring scum ( http://athens.indymedia.org/front.php3?lang=el&article_id=1166657).

I know this is probably a big ask but any chance of a translation? I live in Portsmouth and not very far away from their headquarters but would like to know what I'm talking about before I might organise anything against them.

Also, the product listing is not working for me, is there an alternative link? If it's just my computer being shit then can someone save the pdf and send it to  portsmouth.anarchists@googlemail.com

Cheers.

A Brit teacher in Thessaloniki holding a 'flash-bang' grenade, the model is quoted by him
"Greek riot police used stun grenades designed for use by special forces in anti-terrorist situations to break up protests outside the ex-ministry of Macedonia and Thrace in the northern city of Thessaloniki yesterday May 5 2010."
"The Grenade Hand Stun N580 and Grenade Hand
Stun Multi’s N582, N591 and N592 are diversionary
assault grenades, designed for use in confined
spaces by Special Forces during hostage release.
Noise and candela levels induce disorientation in
any persons within the effective range."
likely a manufacturers quote

A search for the model confirms the manufacturer is Chemring Intl
Reading about peoples experiences with other types, that had some sort of fragmentation, at  http://athens.indymedia.org/front.php3?lang=el&article_id=1166657 (in Greek)
the file  http://athens.indymedia.org/local/webcast/uploads/lesslethalmultistungrenadesn580n582n591n592v3.pdf is listed as a manufacturers brochure for the above photod model.

If you cannot read it try to save it first then open it with a reader other than adobe, i read it.

heavily armoured riot police, this is not a civil war.Yes it was largely kicked of by the shooting of a kid by a copper who turned out to be a undercover Golden Dawn Nazi.
Lets not let it escalate either, Golden Dawn & other fascist groups like the Russian pan-eurasians+rogue cells in NATO would love that.
