Last night, a 16-year old student was shot and injured in the area of Peristeri, Athens, close to his school. The 16-year old was sitting with about ten more students, discussing future mobilisations. The shot came from a person unknown, though it is near-certain that this would be either an undercover cop or a fascist. The police only issued a statement hours later. When the 16-year old’s co-students returned to the point of the assault to collect the bullet’s shell, another bullet was shot at them.
Athens student demonstration is set to start, under some heavy rain.
More to follow.

TÜRKÇE ÇEVİRİ: 11:50 Peristeri, Atina’da bir öğrenci vuruldu, öğrenci eylemleri başlamak üzere
Dün gece, 16 yaşındaki bir öğrenci Peristeri, Atina’da, okuluna yakın bir yerde vurulmuş ve yaralanmış. 16 yaşındaki öğrenci, başka 10 öğrenciyle birlikte gelecekteki hareketleri tartışıyormuş. Vuran kişinin kim olduğu bilinmiyor, ancak gizli bir polis veya bir faşist olduğu neredeyse kesin. Polis, saatler sonra sadece bir açıklama yapmış. 16 yaşındaki gencin arkadaşları kurşun kovanını almak için olay yerine döndüklerinde onlara da ateş edilmiş.
Atina öğrenci eylemi, yoğun yağmur altında, başlamak üzere.
Devamı gelecek.
Waiting for further information about the student who is shot. Solidarity from Istanbul to student demos!
Condolences to his family.

#26, 11:50: Un étudiant se fait tirer dessus à Peristeri, Athènes; la manifestation étudiante va démarrer.
Jeudi 18 Décembre 2008
La nuit dernière, un étudiant de 16 ans s’est fait tirer dessus et a été blessé dans le quartier de Peristeri, Athènes, à proximité de son école. Le jeune de 16 ans était assis avec environ dix autres étudiants, discutant des manifestations à venir. Le tir est d’origine inconnue, bien qu’il soit probable qu’il s’agisse d’un flic en civil ou d’un fasciste. La police fit son rapport seulement plusieurs heures plus tard. Quand les autres étudiants de 16 ans retournèrent sur le lieu du tir pour récupérer la cartouche, ils essuyèrent un autre tir.
La manifestation étudiante est en train de commencer, sous une lourde pluie.
A suivre.
It seems it is a .22lb firegun or handgun, and not an air gun, as some initial reports suggested.
what is the source of this new? i can make it publish in a national news agency in turkiye. but i have to know more before..

Please, if anyone knows sources, even in greece, post ‘em
Correction: some dispute over the calibre, but most sources agree it is a firegun. Alpha radio mentioned a .22 mm handgun. Coverage also from tvxs.gr…
All online Greek sources cover the incident…
there is some information here on the greek communist party website: http://inter.kke.gr/frontpage
@Onur: The KKE has denounced the students as “talibans, drug dealers, hooligans” and so on. I don’t think their website has any fair information.
Here about the stalinists of the KKE:

CHARP, the student’s father is a KKE union member (PAME) so KKE was quick to condemn the shooting. KKE also condemned the shooting of Alexis.
Ofc, nobody can deny the part of KKE in defusing all rebellions (inc. 1973) and protests and then claiming as their own in order to maximise political gains.
Btw, the sources within the police indicate its a .22 firearm

Here is the official statement by the police (press release)
http://www.astynomia.gr/index.php?option=ozo_content&lang=‘..’&perform=view&id=1672&Itemid=326&lang=
It specifically mentions that it is a FIREARM
Aπό την πρώτη εξέταση (μακροσκοπική) εκτιμάται ότι πρόκειται για μολύβδινη βολίδα πυροβόλου όπλου, το διαμέτρημα της οποίας θα πιστοποιηθεί μετά από εργαστηριακή εξέταση.
translation:
A primary analysis (macroscopic) suggests that it is a lead shot from a firearm (not airgun). The exact caliber will be verified after lab analysis.

A bomb could easily harm or kill innocent people (passersby, comrades etc…) especially if it does not work with a fuse.
