GREECE: a lawyer was arrested in Athens while expressing her solidarity to Thodoris Iliopoulos, imprisoned hunger striker who was arrested during the December 2008 revolt and denies all charges against him.
A lawyer was arrested while she was putting on posters and slogans in solidarity with hunger striker Thodoris Iliopoulos (Θοδωρής Ηλιόπουλος) at the Evelpidon courts in Athens, Greece.
It’s a real arrest and not simply a detention.
There’s no more info atm.

Translator’s comments: we see how simply expressing your solidarity to a persona non grata in Greece can land you in a police station with cops over your head. That’s Greece where anyone who deviates from the mainstream role of consumer–worker is repressed and labelled a terrorist and an ‘enemy of democracy’.
