Not Occupied - Blockaded

08.12.2008 17:37

It is misleading to refer to this action as an occupation as it all took place outside of the building. The misleading title has been picked up by comrades reporting solidarity actions on sites around the world and it's not helped by the fact that the photos here don't show that the balcony people appear to be standing on is infact just the first flight of stairs up to the door.

Great action, successful blockade, but not an occupation.

u r probably right

The protestors didn't actually take control of the building, but the embassy didn't operate for the day, greek people that came for passports etc partly joined the crowd outside, i suppose technically it turned out to be more of a blockade but i dont think it s so important, a 15 year old comrade was murdered in the streets and there is an insurrectionary situation around Greece, honouring young Alexis, defending life and defending the streets for the youth, so i guess every action is appreciated by the fighters there.

There were also 4 arrestees, so pls post any info about them.
