Riots
All weekend in Athens continued student unrest. Performances of youth, which resulted in fires and riots, were devoted to the anniversary of the death of 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulosa, who was killed by police in the evening on December 6th 2008.
Demonstrators broke windows, overturned garbage cans, threw stones and Molotov cocktails representatives of law enforcement. Protesters wearing masks broke into the University of Athens and lowered the Greek flag over it, replacing it with a black and red anarchist banner.
