Athens: American activist seriously injured in the head by Delta motorcycle police
What follows is a compilation of accounts of comrades who were at tonight’s demonstration in central Athens, close to the injured activist and whose reports are verified and trustworthy. Please spread. We will post more information here, as it comes. The events unfolded toward the end of tonight’s demonstration against the presence of representatives of the IMF in central Athens. As we were marching at the last block of the demonstration on Patision Avenue, having left Omonoia square and heading back toward the Polytechnic, a number of “Delta” motorcycle police appeared at the back of the demonstration. They roared their engines and charged toward the crowd. People started running toward the Polytechnic. The delta managed to get hold of a female American activist who was at the last part of the demonstration. They knocked down, kicked her and stamped her head. She was knocked semi-unconscious, taken inside the Polytechnic by other comrades and a few moments later, transported to a central Athens hospital. We are currently waiting to hear back from the doctors as of the state of her health. Her injuries are serious, but in no case life-threatening.

1. How can people alow the IMF to exist.

There has to be a thought on its validity in society based on why and what it does.

I think the name says it all.

Activities even worse then the Pagens do.

IMF Sort of says what they do.
