Video from the demonstration in Patras. Just to put this into perspective: The demonstration was called by the (anarchist &leftist) occupation of the “parartima” (branch of the university in the city centre). This was their callout. Under “normal” circumstances, around 100-200 people would respond. These are not normal days we are living, though: 5-6,000 people took the streets in Patras yesterday…
In Athens, as reported yesterday, at least 25 police stations were under siege by school students. The police station of Petroupoli was besieged for more than seven hours and its facade was entirely burnt by molotov cocktails. 3 students were arrested but the crowd succeeded in demanding their release, as happened a bit later when another two students were arrested only to be released again, under the pressure of the people in solidarity outside (these are all according to indymedia reports).
In the early hours, anarchists occupied the mainstream radio station Flash FM, broadcasting their messages for more than half an hour.

Looks like, after 6 days, we are starting to see the creative organisation anarchists are so well-known for!
Occupying a radio station, what a brilliant campaign move. Also, very promising to hear that popular demand can be used against arrests.
Has anybody found translated text by the student organization (Both high-school, university and whatelse!) …
International solidarity needs to organize:
1) Information against disinformation
2) As broad popular support as possible on the grounds of our revolutionary greek comrades view of their own situation (This could possibly be done through allready existing organizations – The students organizations would be relevant, therefore: They need to hear the greek students speak!)

occupy a radio station every day. ask people to come out and demand that underage kids all be released from jail. they were only responding to the killing of one of their friends.
tell the people that alex was shot straight on, not by a richocet.
tell people over the radio.
WHEN PEOPLE SEE AND HEAR YOUR VOICES ON T.V., THEY WILL NO THAT THERE IS NO WAY THEY CAN MAINTAIN THEIR POSITION OF “NORMALCY” AND THEY WILL JOIN YOU AFTER THEY HEAR YOU.
KEEP UP THE OCCUPATIONS!
