For reports from Athens, see this post.
in Thessaloniki 88 persons were detained and 4 of them will be charged with fabricated clues. the rest will be freed. more than 250 were initially under threat of detention, surrounded by cops, but another part of the demonstration went there and forced the cops to retreat and freed the people. When the situation was clear and we learned that they transferred the detained to the headquarters of the police (which is outside the city, very long distance from the center), thousands of people (i think about 4000) started another demonstration which started from the center and ended outside the headquarters. the people stayed there for many hours, demanding the liberation of all.
In the university the situation is not still clear. one thing is sure: the cops invaded the university once again and arrested at least 2, but people report that more than 10 arrests are probable.
Report from the demonstration of noon may be not necessary. Whoever was there saw what happened. the amount of arrested speaks on its own. Some stores (vodafone etc) were targeted, during the demo.
In Patras, 2-2,500 people took to the streets. The bank across Agiou Andreou Street were smashed up. Hours before the demo, 50-55 people, all known to the cops, were detained “preemptively”. There is no evidence against them and they’re being released slowly late tonight.
In the northern city of Giannena, 1,500 people took to the city’s streets; all banks in the centre were smashed, too. Earlier, the cops raided a local social centre. Around 40 people were detained in total; all have been released now. One riot cop is reported to be seriously injured.
In Heraklion, Crete, more than 1,000 took to the streets – there were 6 preemptive arrests here, too.

W Salonikach policja po raz kolejny naruszyła autonomię uczelni i aresztowała 3 osoby. Ponadto tylko dzisiaj zatrzymano tam ok 100 osób.
W Patras 2-2500 osób przejęło ulice, zniszczono bank w pobliżu ulicy Agiou Andreou. Na parę godzin przed demonstracją policja aresztowała prewencyjnie 50-55 znanych im osób. Nie ma przeciw nim żadnych dowodów i policja zaczęła ich wypuszczać dzisiaj w nocy.
