65 anarchists in Athens were arrested at a protest inside the Ministry of Health in solidarity with Dimitris Koufontinas, who entered a hunger strike on the 8th of January to demand his transfer to the Korydallos Prison in Athens, where he could receive better medical care and access to visitors. Demonstrators called for his demands to be accepted rather than inducing the torture of force-feeding Koufontinas.
Hundreds of protesters in Volos marched against police brutality in Greece, seen recently after a college student was beaten by police in a park under the guise of enforcing coronavirus restrictions and an invasion of a university occupation by plainclothes officers which resulted in 33 arrests.
Residents of the autonomous and self-managed Prosfygika squat in central Athens dropped a banner in solidarity with N17 hunger striker Dimitris Koufontina, calling for the immediate acceptance of his demands to be moved to a prison with less security in Athens.
Around 1000 students in Patras returned to the streets on a 2nd consecutive day of protests against a law that reintroduces police to university campuses, passed under the ruling right-wing New Democracy government currently in control of Parliament.
On the 5th of October, at around 1 A.M., another demonstration took place against police, albeit far smaller. Police violently assaulted protesters, and then left after realizing that the situation would not escalate without their presence.
