Only a few hours after this text on the junta was published, riot police in Athens came to sadly confirm that the junta is, indeed, alive and kicking. Supposedly responding to an earlier attack on the offices of the Socialist Party (PASOK) in the area, riot police encircled and attacked the new self-organised park in Exarcheia, Athens at approximately 5.20 this morning. Eye-witnesses talk of the brutality with which the three riot police units beat those who happened to be at the park at that time. Four people were detained and one is in hospital, injured (not in a critical condition).

The 4 people who were detained are released, without charges. The police claims that the people were injured because they fell on the ground by themselves(!)-2 were in hospital. The offices of PASOK have recently moved away from the area, because of the frequent attacks by anarchists. So the earlier attack (that took place many hours before the police came to the park, around midnight) was against the riot police, that usually stands there.
