Right now there are fights both in Athens and Thessaloniki.
In thessaloniki thousands of protestors attacked the ministry of north greece and thrace. The city centre is closed to all traffic and the streets taken over since 11am. Small fights between people and riot-cops... big groups of 30 civil police each are walking through the centre as well.
In athens there are fights in a few spots of Athens and especially in the parliament and around the polytechnic school.
THE UNBELIEVABLE IS THAT THE RIOT COPS APPEARED AT THE FUNERAL OF ALEXIS!
Thousands of people were at the cemetary of Faliro silent in front of the dead 15 year old student.
Suddenly squads of riot police appeared in the area around the cemetary, some young people verbally attacked them and then the riot cops attacked and arrived at the gates of the cemetary using teargas and the usual chemicals!!!
The funeral is on live broadcast on some TV channelsm, even from helicopter coverage.
Thousands (more than 5000 thousand) are encircled in the cemetary.
The last half an hour peope from the cemetary attempt to break the siege.
SPREAD THE NEWS! WE WRITE FROM INSIDE OCCUPATIONS AND BECAUSE OF THE FIGHTS WE DO NOT HAVE MUCH TIME TO SEND THE NEWS EVERYWHERE.

2cops intruded the little boys funeral and provoked
09.12.2008 17:59
From eye witness on TV: 2 cops with motorcycles intruded the funeral and started provoking the people. When ten people from the funeral attempted to push them away they were attacked from a hidden riot police squad.
From someone on greek indy: The cops were swearing at the young children and were saying ironically "where are you Alexi?" and laughing at the same time. Some cops were shaping their fist like they were holding a gun and were asking the 12 year old boys "do you want to be next?". They didn't hesitate to brutally beat up the 12 years olds that dared to go down to the funeral or the streets
Personal comment: Please PLease, spend two minutes at least to spread the news to the wherever you can. The situation is critical and people are being killed under the commands of the goverment. Human rights do not mean much at these times there, so help develop an awareness of the situation. The corporate media are lying 100%
