DeMO Against Police Repression in Solidarity with Greek revolt

On Saturday 6th December Greek police killed a 15 year-old boy on the streets of Athens. Since then thousands have taken to the streets, hundreds of police stations, banks and government buildings have been burnt across the country. School and university students have often been leading demonstrations and clashes while widening the social debate through occupying campuses.

Solidarity actions have spread across Europe, Australia and the United States. Embassies have been occupied or burnt and protesters have clashed with police in several cities. Many protesters have been arrested and imprisoned and subjected to police brutality in a systematic and coordinated attack against solidarity movements.

This revolt was a response to the murdering of young Alexandros, releasing the social need to revolt against the police state, and the increasing social and financial repression and exclusion.

Everywhere police repression, harassment, evictions, beatings and killings are the everyday terror of state control. The movement against repression and control is gaining momentum. We call to take this movement to the streets.

We are calling the Demo in Hackney as this is an area where police repression is a problem faced by many of the community - unlike the leafy streets surrounding the Greek embassy in Holland Park.

On the 14th of December we call for a demonstration at 14:30 at Dalston Kingsland Station, Hackney, London.
Ways to get there: From Liverpool Street Station bus 149
By train to Dalston Kingsland Station.
From Central London Buses: 38, 73, 30, 67, 243
