The huge student demonstration that took place in Athens, Greece this morning was violently attacked by the police.

The huge student demonstration that took place in Athens, Greece this morning was violently attacked by the police. The whole city centre was full of tear gas that the police threw to breakup the students and you can hardly breathe. The police attacked peaceful demonstrators, in many cases 18 year old girls were hit repeatedly with clubs and whoever tried to help them got the same. Many people were arrested without any cause and beaten up badly even after their arrest and while they were carried to the police vehicles. The police also attacked corporate media cameramen who were filming the beatings. This is not a case of a couple of injures but of hundreds of wounded students. Tens of ambulances had to take them into hospitals. Unfortunately the police usually follow the ambulances and arrests the hospitalized people. A group of neo-nazi / patriots which is known that are in good terms with the police, helped on the attacks against the students. Police is everywhere and people are still haunted, beaten and arrested.

The corporate media talks about a small number of anarchists attacking the police and that the police only took defending actions but the truth is that the police attacked the whole demonstrations of dozens of thousand people.

These events are taking place right now, more news to come soon.
Sorry for any mistakes, I wrote this down in a big hurry.
