(Video captures the moments when the riot cops attack those gathered in solidarity, unprovoked. The gathered people are heard chanting “the passion for freedom is stronger than all prisons” and, “you’ve got shit inside your helmets, what could you know about freedom”

As reported earlier, a 28-year old swimming teacher has been ordered in pre-trial detention (imprisonment) after being arrested on Thursday’s general strike demonstration. He is charged with possessing molotov cocktails – and yet, as videos and eye-witnesses confirm, his bag only contained bottles of shampoo (…) that he used for his swimming classes.
On Monday at the courthouse, once the announcement of his imprisonment was made, the riot cops started viciously attacking the gathered crowd; holding their batons up-side down (riot cop number 45-24 is pictured doing this here)…
…they seriously injured at least one of those gathered in solidarity – the person below, who is epileptic and was beaten by the cops, was later hospitalised.
