Latest info on the 30-year old demonstrator who went in a coma after being beaten by police in Athens today (by katalipsiesiea)
According to his hospital doctors, the demonstrator has two serious head injuries and has lost a lot of blood. He remains intubated in the Emergency Healthcare Unit and the next few days are crucial regarding his survival.
Meanwhile, impromptu demonstrations broke out in the cities of Thessaloniki and Heraclion, Crete in response to the brutal repression of today’s demonstration in Athens. In Athens itself, there is unverified information that 200 demonstrators of the Communist Party (KKE) are heading to the Police Ministry to demonstrate against today’s events.
There is an emergency anarchist assembly starting in the Athens Polytechnic in a few minutes and another assembly at the offices of the Bookworkers’ base union on Messologiou Street in Exarcheia, both to discuss today’s police attacks and possible action.

Today we witnessed the endless and unimaginable brutality by the Greek govermentof Memorandum [austerity measures] , in order to suppress any citizens’ action, whoare opposed against the measures which are planning by the foreign and local capital.
Dozens of injured protesters were hit by the riot police and transfered with ambulanceor came alone in our hospital. Most of them had head injuries. Among them, there is a30 – years old protestor with heavy, antemortem condition, anisocoria and hugeepidural hematoma. At this time the protestor is in surgery by our collegues who aretrying to save his life.
We condemn the police brutality and arbitrariness.We condemn all the members of the Greek Government and the Prime Minister for theassassination attempt against the specific citizen who is in serious condition and hislife is in danger, also against all other protestors.
The violence and repression against the people who resist have no future.
The government with the brazen tactics of popular’s rights rape, which are necessaryfor the people’s survival and also with the brutal violence which directly threatenpeople’s lives, will increase our stubbornness and our decision to fight until the end inorder people have bread, education and freedom. We are not going to stop until theguilty of murder attempt will be punished. We are not going to stop until our people win!

brutality.
the anarchists’ assembly is due for asoee building, but it’s really hard to approach the spot
police squads are on the corner of alexandras and patission, and in the upper side towards ‘pedion tou areos’
we learned from cell phone that, about before half an hour, fascists of ‘golden dawn’ hit people severely -two ambulances were called at the spot
athens polytechnic is still blocked by police squads (22.30 +2 GMT)
The people in Greece should get a job and start working for their money instead of ripping of the EU’s citizens.
WE have given them 100billion, and they still complain….
ow btw, I’m a hard working dutch guy. I pay about 2000E per year for the next 10years so the people in greece can sit in the sun and retire at 55… so, Fuck You, Greece!
How should the Greek People get a job if the unemploymend rate is at 15% and propably about 20% at the end of the year?
And btw, none of your euros actually helps the greek people. It just goes straight to the banks, it’s another banking bailout package just called help package because it sounds better.
Solidarity from Germany to the greek struggle!
@ARISTOTELES – You fool. The crisis was exported to Greece, if Greece fails then EU looses a lot more than the money it has spent on bailing it out. I suggest you read and learn or you will to continue to embarrass yourself.
Solidarity with the youth & workers in Greece – love & rage from London, UK
@ Aristoteles…
Amazed by your comments. Glad you are working hard. In Holland, wasn’t it? Great freedom you are enjoying there too… So, why do you have a rest now and time to post here? Why don’t you work a bit harder? It seems you have too much time! Go to work and work harder. That’s what people are made for. Too work hard and to not think.
Thank you for the reminder.
Oh, by the way. I would like you to feel the back of one of the Greek police’s cosh on your head. Just as most of the Greeks you dare to write about felt, when they couldn’t see straight because that red & warm fluid we know as blood was flowing and covered their eyes…
Go for some more work man, otherwise I’d be tempted…
Solidairty to the Greeks, from the Los Angeles, CA! ANTISTASI!
Time to return the Netherlands to it’s proper state perhaps. Open up the polders, break down the dijks. Aristoteles, you’re such an asshole!
fascists and pigs together on the streets sounds like scary shit. ACAB!
anybody knows what exactly happened here?

That Dutchmen up there doesn’t understand that all that bailout money is actually going to French and German banks to keep the little banksters solvent for another year. The blood of martyrs stains the streets of Athens while the bankers laugh.
Solidarity from San Diego, California. Austerity is happening here too. We have fascists here and State attacks on immigrants. Same shit. We have to make our rulers pay!
