On the 19th, about 250 protesters gathered to protest ICE’s brutal treatment of detainees in Times Square. The police reacted almost immediately, kettling them in and arresting ~60 protesters, mirroring the arrest of 26 protesters at a demonstration outside of the ICE federal offices earlier this week. Many of those arrested will be charged with disorderly conduct.
Around 125 protesters in Larissa marched against police brutality and management of the pandemic by the Greek government, which continues to overfund the military and police as the hospitals and medical system of the country become quickly overwhelmed with few ICU beds left available in Greece.
Dozens of bikers took to the streets to the Reclusorio Oriente prison demanding liberation for an arrested feminist and all other prisoners, calling all prisoners political prisoners and making noise outside in solidarity.
Greek vegan anarchists in Athens gathered on New Year’s Eve to protest against speciesism and brutality on animals, by the form of mass confinement and murder for meat and other products. Demonstrators marched to Kato Patisia and Agios Nikolaos, dropping leaflets and shouting slogans in front of butchers and fishmongers. Before dispersing, a banner was dropped in the Cyprus park of Patision, after which the march ended.
Hundreds of protesters in Patras marched in solidarity with revolting refugees at the Corinth refugee camp after a 17-year-old Kurd committed suicide when his 16-month detainment was extended on the supposed day that the minor would have been released.
