Chios: The Greek Junta rears its ugly head again, in a 'Socialist' state!

280 arrested, many after being 'kettled' pre-emptively, in groups of up to 50
Central Athens occupied, by cops
Report of shoppers being dragged out of supermarket and arrested

Not since the state murdered two comrades in 1985 and occupied the Polytechnic in 1995 (

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism_in_Greece#1982-2001) have there been so much state repression on this day.
News that the democratic state is pressuring the head of the Metsovo (poytechneio) university to shut the Greek indymedia!

"Nearly all" arrestees have been/will be released (without charge?) Police chief 'happy' with 'peaceful characteristics of demo, but also of those wrongly arrested, especially kids" Ο αρχηγός της Αστυνομίας τους διαβεβαίωσε ότι όλοι σχεδόν θα αφεθούν ελεύθεροι και ο κ. Λαφαζάνης δήλωσε αμέσως μετά ευχαριστημένος από τον ειρηνικό χαρακτήρα που είχε η πορεία, αλλά όχι και από τις αθρόες προσαγωγές, κυρίως παιδιών.

2,500-3000 (-6000?) Anarchists, pig-penned

Cops collecting stones off the street and putting them in coats and bags of detainees, repeat of Simon Chapman, anyone?
Οι μπάτσοι μάζευαν πέτρες από το δρόμο και τις έχωναν στα μπουφάν και στις τσάντες των συλληφθέντων.
