Anarchy in Greece

On Jan. 11 more than 150 anarchists broke off from a student demonstration that was protesting the death of teacher Nikos Temboneras four years earlier in clashes between students and extreme-rightists. The anarchists seized Athens Law School in the heart of the city, burning barricades of desks and chairs outside and throwing petrol bombs and stones at the cops. Bank windows were also smashed. Five comrades were arrested.

In other news, a new Greek anarchist weekly newspaper, Alpha, is being launched by anarchists in Thessaloniki and Athens.
