Police intervention and then a prosecutor’s order early this morning put an end to the 19-day occupation of the central building of the University of Athens. Last night units of the riot forces deployed around the building as anarchists had blocked the streets with waste bins and set them on fire, throwing stones and pieces of marble at the same time. The riots began immediately after the counter-protest against the protest of the miners from the gold mines in Skouries of Halkidiki. The counter-protest was organized by leftist organizations and trade unionists, close to the government.

The first arrests of hooligans occurred in the streets around the University at about 03:00 am. The units of the fire service arrived at 06:00 am and broke open the door of the academic building. The orders were for the police to put an end to the blockade, but without the use of force. Not riot forces but ordinary police units entered the building after the fire fighters broke open the door.

There were 14 people, 7 men and 7 women, inside the university, who did not resist the arrests. They were brought into a police bus, handcuffed, and taken to the General Directorate of the Greek Police. While they were taken out, their supporters who had gathered around the building of the University of Athens chanted anarchist slogans.

The protest of anarchists in front of the university continues.
