Alexandros Grigoropoulos' shooting in Athens, Greece on December 6 unleashed a wave of riots by students and anarchists. These demonstrations were further sparked by anger at high youth unemployment, low wages, inadequate police and justice systems and unpopular economic measures by the government.
Rioting flared up again Saturday just after midnight. Hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets in and around the neighborhood where 15-year-old Grigoropoulos was killed by police one week earlier, clashing with police, using rocks, sticks, flares and laser beams.
The unrest has caused 200 million Euros ($265.3 million) of damage in Athens alone. Police have detained 432 people, most have been released without charges filed against them.
More protests are planned for next week.Alexandros Grigoropoulos' shooting in Athens, Greece on December 6 unleashed a wave of... more
