Just came back from the demo – a more detailed report will follow later.
The demonstrators tried to approach the British Embassy in solidarity with the struggle of the students in the UK. There were clashes with riot police and five students were arrested. Short video from the clashes:
(At 00.15” a riot police man is clearly seen hitting a protester with a fire extinguisher)
In response to the arrests, the entire demonstration headed to the police headquarters (GADA) demanding their immediate release.
More info, soon.

Pigs all over act the same, it seems.
Solidarity most welcome from Greece to the UK, as the student movement here has less of a tradition of revolt than our neighbours in Greece, France,Germany and Italy! Strike. Occupy. Resist. Sabotage. Attack!
Posted to Facebook. Solidarity from the Greek students greatly appreciated. Hope the arrested are released. Fight on!
My love goes to all the Greek students who marched in solidarity with us from the UK. You are our brothers and sisters, and we are in solidarity with you.

the arrested students were fortunately released after the intervention of two politics
everything is running smooth…waiting for monday when we have 2 years completed from the biggest riot in athens which was trigered by the killing of a 15 years old boy from a policeman
All I can see is a bunch of silly yobs attacking the police and then… they talk about police violence and brutality!!! So what did they expect after attacking the policemen with flags and other stuff? Did they expect hugs??? They simply got what they deserved. They should be thrown in a jail and let them rot there forever. Poor kids that have never be loved… go get some jobs idiots.
Thank you my Greek comrades for the message of solidarity so strongly given.
I hope those injured have a speedy recovery, and those arrested released home to their families.
Never give up, continue the fight!
Thank you to students from Greece.
greetings from Budapest
