Attack on Exarchia police station 13-12-2013

Exarchia police station in Athens was severely attacked today around 8pm with Molotov cocktails and stones. Riot, DIAS and DELTA (on motorbikes) police units performed an extensive sweep of the Exarchia area detaining c.a. 70-80 bystanders, including several immigrants and an underage refugee. The detainees were transferred to Athens police HQ. There has been issued a special warning to police authorities regarding the underage refugee, who is a victim of torture. The cops answered in a provocable manner that they will prevent him from standing near any windows [note: so he would not commit a suicide. However, a number of immigrants have “committed suicides” in police stations in Greece]. The police detained individuals who happened to be hanging out at the Navarinou park, close by the Exarchia police station.
