Re: Protestor died by inhaling tear-gas in Greece

Wild clashes between members of the Communist Party and anarchist/antiauthoritarian protestors took place today (2nd day of the 48 hours general strike) in front of the Greek parliament.
Guard groups of the Communist Party have occupied the roads around the parliament, preventing other protestors to reach the building.
An organized group of about 500 protestors attacked Communist party's guard groups and fierce clashes followed. An eyewitness stated in www.alterthess.gr that he was fiercely beaten by both the two conflicted sides.
According to updated information, there are more than 60 injured protestors from both sides.
The attackers have even threw molotov bombs and rocks against the members of the communist party. Soon enough, they were attacking other blocks of protestors.
