Protesters in Larissa gathered in solidarity with the hunger strike of Dimitris Koufontinas, which began on the 8th of January to demand his transfer to the Athens Korydallos prison which would give him access to better medical care and the ability to see visitors.
Dozens of protesters gathered in Washington D.C. for the weekly FTP march organized by the They/Them Collective, demanding justice for Xzavier Hill, a teenager killed by state police in Charlottesville on the 9th of January. The MPD harassed the demonstrators, trailing them in nearly equal numbers on bikes, before demonstrators dispersed mostly without issue.
Thousands of protesters in Brooklyn, New York City, marched for a 3rd day in support of Palestine and against US support to the internationally designated apartheid state of Israel, whose security forces have a record of committing terrorist attacks against the Arab population of the area.
Clashes in Tourcoing occurred for a 2nd day after a police operation resulted in the seizure of several motorcycles used for urban derbies by young adults in the French city. Fireworks and tear gas were exchanged throughout the night as demonstrators engaged in running battles with police who kept a constant pursuit.
Demonstrators took to the streets nearly a month after the police killing of Andrew Brown, an unarmed Black man in his driveway, who was shot by multiple officers using assault rifles. Police did not make a presence during the demonstration and allowed the march to disperse peacefully.
