Info event on the riots in Greece/ 22nd Jan 7pm -10pm @ rampART - off Commercial Rd, Shadwell E1 2LA, London
The murder of the student Alexis Grigoropoulos by a policeman, has sparked
in Greece some of the biggest riots since the demise of the dictatorship
in that country. Athens has been in the last month, the stage of continous
battles between youth and the police, which after having shot thousands of tear gas canisters has not managed to placate the revolt.
For some people this is the first credit-crunch riot, a sign of things to
come. But what is actually happening in Greece at the moment and
what are the prospects of the movement that has risen in the streets of
Athens?
This event will host testimonies from activists who have participated in
the protests, and projections of video to provide grassroots information
to counter the distortions of mainstream media.
