460 people were taken to GADA, (the police claim less than 300) after their "identification" procedures... they have released most of them but
-8 still remain in GADA
- 6 arrested with charges that allow immediate arrest for acts(or carrying molotov, matches etc before they even used them) before
facepalm: ) and during the demo
- 2 are arrested for previous pending charges
Outside GADA about 200 people remained until about 11.30 demanding their release including their lawyers and members of a political party (Syriza-the party that wanted to demonstrate together with fascists... just a reminder)
These have been the most arrests ever made by the police for -listen to this
-precautionary reasons since they observed movements of radical left groups -these new guys seem to be mind readers obviously- towards the Polytechnic .

another for not so up-to-date info but seems to be working fine and has many informative posts on the comments sections is http://www.tvxs.gr/ (http://www.tvxs.gr/v26337 video of the demo)
from the journalists' blog they mention that 3 of the taken to GADA were injured. They say more than 4000 were the demonstrators of radical left groups (EEK, AK and the Anarchist bloc-the Anarchist bloc alone 2000 and on Indy I saw a post estimating 6000. Depends what time because people were still gathering at 4ish) and that they were surrounded in a suffocating manner by a mass number of cops from every part of their group. They estimate the demo had from 10 to 15 thousand people today-I did mention huge... They also confirm that one journalist of French media and one photojournalist were also detained.

Occupation of the Dean's offices of Panteio University by student's from 10 this morning.
They gave out an announcement which starts "The junta didn't finish in '73"
and in that statement:".. . For what kind of democracy they're talking about and about what kind of autonomy of universities when decisions of the dean are enforced by the police?
From the early hours of Friday Panteio was surrounded by police forces. Their job was not to let university students enter the building. Until 10.30 in the morning they remained around the university preventing people from entering."
and later they state :... 36 years after the assault on the Polytechnic by the tank, the repression is the same. Then with the army of the dictatorship, now with democracy's police. This repression won't remain without an answer. We occupy the Deans' offices to prove/demonstrate the Dean's cooperation with the police in perfect harmony."

video I of the "discreet" police presence in Exarheia on the 17th. Residents of Exarheia point out to the riot squads that they were illegal since they were not showing their identification insignia and they should detain each other, they offered at the same time to show them their own identity cards. They keep asking who are they protecting and from what and at a suggestion from a cop to stop gathering there the residents answer they will keep gathering wherever they want and that "suggestion" of this kind were a reminder of the junta's time and lastly they demand the squads leave the area, since they are not needed and are not welcomed.
video II of the "discreet" presence of police in Exarheia, a bit more "discreet" presence here, when residents are not allowed to go back home since the squads had closed off streets. At 4.29 of the video the residents keep asking why the young people arrested are beaten up, and "Can't you arrest them without beating them up?"

fascist attacks (around 21.30 on Monday) on Arab community/shops in Athens by 40 fascists shouting racist remarks and using clubs and grenades with the result two migrants to be taken to hospital. They damaged two shops and destroyed the produces inside. As they were leaving 7 migrants cornered two of them in a block of flats. The police that came at the site of the racist attacks remained for 5 minutes and their only response was "But what can we do?" A different bunch of police went at the block of flats where they arrested everyone including the two greeks. They took them to the police station of Kypseli which is a different area in the centre of Athens and not in the police station of Neos Kosmos where the attacks happened and the chief here decided that the two greeks were just nearby playing basketball and had nothing to do with the attacks, but said he was going to look into any pending charges for the 7 migrants...
This happens only a few hours after the news in the media about police brutality against a 35-year-old migrant woman coming back from doing her shopping and carrying her 2-year-old child was attacked (pushed to the ground and hit in the kidneys) by 3 cops in plain clothes (this new sight in our streets recently) because ... well really they did not like her attitude or place of origin... (an interesting point of this latest police "protection" is that they arrested the woman and left the child in its carriage on the pavement and left... to take her to the same police station of Kypseli where she was threatened in all kinds of ways, one of which was that they would arrest her and she would lose her child) Those cops were fired and the minister announced the introduction of a new site for complaints from the public about the police.
The only thing is that, at the same date that the woman(who happens to be married to a greek well-known musician) was attacked also another migrant a Palestinian was brutally treated from cops at the police station of Omonoia , but no one was fired there and no elaborate statements all over the place from "officials" about that.
A few days ago there was also another attack against a greek activist (his house with molotov ) and member of the radical left party of EEK and again the police was unresponsive-

Another attack with an explosive mechanism this morning (around 3.55 ) in Thessaloniki at the Buena Ventura, a free space that houses the Collective of Solidarity Antiauthoritarian Movement. From the blast there were extensive damages to the building and cars outside. It is important to point out that a couple of hours earlier there were still a lot of people inside from the assembly that took place. It appears that this explosive mechanism is of similar type to the one that was placed earlier last summer at the centre of Thessaloniki against the Collective Sfentona.

The students' Movements and the Collective Sfentona denounce to the people and the youth of Thessaloniki this parastate - fascist attack with explosive mechanism (bomb) against the collective free space of Bueno Ventura. This attack is not random but part of the virulent attacks of the state and the police trying to put under control self-organized spaces, collectives,free spaces, squats by fascists attacks all over Greece, and the efforts of young people to assemble, discuss, organize and fight. Their intent is to send a message of conformity ,especially because of the mass movements that will take place for the 6th of December, to everyone that continues to resist.
Their aim is the grassroots movements against the anti-working class policies, against the bleed white of a whole generation, because they know and are afraid of the movements which are still in the beginning.
All of us who met and will meet again in the streets, we state that we'll march again the road of December! All of us ,who are on the same side against the system and policies of repression, we state that we will not conform. All of us that recognize that the state and parastate terrorism needs to become an issue for the people and youth, for the movement we have to act collectively. To create a front against repression, to open the issue for discussion at the grassroots movements, collectives, syndicalist groups, activist- neighborhood groups which all are what they're aiming against.

about the Palestinian that suffered at the hands of police at Omonoia's station(centre of Athens) that I've mentioned on a previous post.

"Νew allegations of torture against detained immigrant at the Omonoia police station
[...] On Friday 20 November, immigrant detainee Bin Taher Mohammed collapsed at the Athens courts. His condition was such that he was immidiately driven by ambulance to the hospital. As reported by his fellow detainees (and later confirmed by himself), Mohammed Bin Taher had been savagely beaten by police personnel at the Omonoia Police Station. These complaints were forwrded to lawyer Gianna Kurtovik who visited the detainee on Saturday, November 21 at the same Police Station, where he had been tranferred again.
This new complaint of torture against immigrants adds to a long series of abuse incidents at the Omonoia Police Station. We all recall the famous video that showed police officers tormenting detained immigrants. But apart from physical violence, the very conditions of detention there constitute torture. About 70 people are crammed for up to 4 months into detention cells which at best could accomodate 1 / 3 of them, with no yard to go outdoors. [...] "
* there was a demo this afternoon against the fascists' attack in Neos Kosmos against the Arab community.
Thanks DeepStoat , everyone out in the streets of Athens has to take care, and from the last few days it is obvious that not even at marches etc, even coming back from the supermarket...

they have already started with their fascist tactics...
Riots squads surrounded the Economic University (ASOEE) at Patission street in order to keep the university closed (their excuse is the H1N1 virus, what are they going to come up with next I wonder...)but the reason is they want to prevent the general assembly that was planned for today. Obviously the dean, hand in hand with the cops, and in perfect harmony with Chrisohoidis' protective and discreet policies are preventing the students from having their general assembly.
Clashes already , tear gas (inside even at the uni... this is what the "socialist" government thinks of the university's asylum), and chasing students in the surrounding streets. There was a demo of workers earlier and they have been surrounded and blocked as well in the streets full of tear gas and they engaged in some verbal "friendly" exchanges with cops.
from Indymedia ( https://athens.indymedia.org/front.php3?lang=el&article_id=1111696 ) and the radio.
Oh, they started very silly, very silly indeed...
* Occupations of many universities all over Greece already, still few assemblies to be held at others to decide about occupying their universities as well, and for other matters .
* Patission street (a main street in central Athens, the street that is in front of the Polytechnic and ASOEE) and Alexandras street in the beginning are blocked by riot squads and cops.
** Occupied unis so far : 9 in Athens, 5 in Patra, 5 in Thessaloniki and the University of Crete

About ASOEE, as Stella informed you, what happened today is a first indication of what we should expect for, on the 6th of December and onwards. There was an ongoing rumor that the deans of the universities in the center of Athens, would ask from the police to close down the universities and guard outside them, in order demonstrators and students not to be able and get a shelter inside. This rumor seems to be true.
Therefore this morning, the dean of ASOEE decided to close down the university building because, as on his official statement said, there is a danger of spreading the new flue virus. Today a general assembly of students had been organized to take place in the building of ASOEE, this could not be possible though because of the RIOT police that was guarding the building. A group of about 20 students though managed to break the chain that was blocking the outside door and got in the building. When the door opened more students tried to enter, and the police then started violently pushing the students back, using chemicals even INSIDE the university building. Clashes with the police continued and on the nearby roads, and as Stella mentioned even a peaceful workers demo was affected by the chemicals and the police presence.
Finally the police had to leave from the area, the doors opened and the student assembly took place.
