#134 | Breaking News: University Occupations ahead of the 6th of December have kicked off

In Athens, the School of Economics (one of the strongholds of last December’s uprising) was announced to be closed indefinitely by the university’s adminstration under the ridiculous pretext of the …swine flu. Indeed, once the announcement was made, tens of swines (aka greek police) did show up at the gates of the university, swearing, beating and tear-gassing the students who immediately tried to occupy the campus to keep it open, ahead of the 6th of December. At least 50 students managed to smash open the gate and have made their way into the campus – they are now besieged by police. What happens at the School of Economics today is crucial ahead of Sunday, so those of you who are already in Athens please try make your way down there. This photo was taken from inside the campus a few moments ago.

Meanwhile in Thesssaloniki, the Theatre School (also a stronghold of the uprising last year) was today occupied by a large student assembly that was supported by the “Open Assembly for December”.

    Earlier this morning, comrades entered the Athens Polytechnic and issued a statement announcing they will be staying there, to keep the campus open ahead of the next days’ demonstrations. They are calling for an open assembly there at 9pm tonight.

    THE ECONOMICS SCHOOL IS NOW IN OUR HANDS TOO

    The cops have retreated. The gates of the school are wide open and an open assembly will be taking place there shortly.
