Clashes erupt in Athens after protest to mark 2008 police killing
We're not alone. Either in cop killings or in protesting.
15-year-old activist Alexandros Grigoropoulos was killed by police in 2008.
Every year thousands commemorate this murder.
"Riot police used teargas and water cannon to beat back protesters in the bohemian Exarchia neighborhood, where about 200 black-clad youths hurled stones and Molotov cocktails at them. A cloud of smoke billowed into the sky from the clashes.
At least two shops were set on fire, and dozens of others damaged. Police said they detained nearly 100 demonstrators.
The clashes erupted after about 6,000 protesters marched to commemorate the 2008 police shooting of Alexandros Grigoropoulos, an anniversary that normally draws thousands of anti-establishment protesters.
This year's protest was in solidarity with a jailed self-proclaimed anarchist who witnessed the death of Grigoropoulos and who is now on hunger strike demanding he be allowed to attend university classes.
