#18, 18:40: 13-year old girl brutally arrested; murderer’s lawyer’s office attacked; high school students keep up the struggle and get targeted

Just about when the demonstration today was reaching its end, riot cops attacked at Korai Str in Athens, arresting at least four students. One of the arrestees was a 13 year old girl; nearby journalists who reacted to her brutal arrest were also beaten up heavily. Earlier, the office of Alexis Kougias (the murderer’s lawyer) were trashed.

High school students also held fresh demos across the country and neighbourhoods in Athens. The attack of the state’s mechanism on them is in full swing: Earlier today, a car with unregistered license plates (i.e. belonging to the undercover police) drove into two students outside a high school in Ilioupolis, Athens, leaving them both injured.

A more detailed summary of today’s events, hopefully with some thoughts on where things can go from here, will follow once we’ve had some rest!

    You have my solidarity. The state is proving its self to be a violent machine every day.

    Do not give in, the honest people of the world are with you in spirit if they cannot be with you in action.

    You will win because you are determined, because you see the state for what it is.

    This is a sign of weakness, the state is running out of things to do. They cannot use the army against the protestors becuase that would mean a international political suicide.

    So go through with this and end it once and for all. Don’t let all the material damage and violence be for nothing, if it goes back to were Greece was before this it would be better if it didn’t happen at all. So go through with it, and actually make a change!
