  • [01] Violence at protest demonstration against Israeli attacks on Gaza

  • [01] Violence at protest demonstration against Israeli attacks on Gaza

    A rally was held Saturday evening outside the Israeli embassy in Athens in protest of the Israeli attacks on Gaza and in solidarity with the Palestinian people, with the participation of the Coalition of the Left, Movements and Ecology (SYN) party, the Hellenic Social Forum, and trade unions, anti-war organizations and Palestinian organizations, including a delegation of SYRIZA (the SYN-led Coalition of the Radical Left parliamentary alliance) MPs headed by SYN leader Alexis Tsipras, and main opposition PASOK party MPs Dinos Rovlias and Sophia Sakorafa.

    Scuffles broke out between demonstrators and a strong police continent outside the embassy, with police obliging the protestors to disperse and flee down side streets.

    The protestors marched along central streets, making stops at Syntagma Square and the Egyptian embassy, as well as at the US embassy, where they attempted to break a roadblock set up by the MAT riot police with MAT vans by throwing rocks in the direction of the police. The MAT responded with flare and sound grenades and teargas, forcing the demonstrators to retreat and break up into smaller groups heading in several directions, which caused traffic chaos on several streets of Athens.

    The protestors set fire to trash bins while, earlier, they burned Israeli and US flags outside the Israeli and Egyptian embassies.
