About 1000 people showed up at Athens University to protest against proposed changes to a law that bans police from entering university campuses.
After the December riots and continued social unrest, the Greek government has been trying to crack down on unruly protesters. By repealing the ban on police officers entering university campuses, police will be able to do their job. The government says a small group of extremists have abused the asylum law and have used the university as a base from which to launch attacks against police.

The asylum laws, which bars police from entering campuses without permission, have been in place since the fall of the military junta in 1974. Talk of lifting asylum strikes a nerve with protestors who remember the massacre of students at Athens Polytechnic University in 1974 which led to the toppling of the military dictatorship.

Instead of clamping down on violence, activists believe repealing asylum is a way to stifle political dissent which is often prevalent on university campuses.
The peaceful but loud protest started at Athens University and proceed to the Greek Parliament.

  • 'Asylum' in English means a place for lunatics. The meaning in Greek is different and means the place where state authorities cannot enter. So, the proper word is 'sanctuary'.

  • MSG TO PROTESTORS: MAKE YOUR OWN BODY ARMOR OR BUY SOME FROM CHINA.

    YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROTEST, AND TO PROTECT YOURSELF WHILE DOING IT.

  • Im behind you every step of the way.

  • The rest of the worlds citizens need to really observe a key factor here. In this video and several others, older citizens in their 50's and 60's are rioting in large numbers. It's not just 20 somethings and hippies. That's when you know things are really fucked up. If the community 'elders' are facing down the cops, the shit has obviously hit the fan. What's happening in Greece is eventually going to come to your country. I would advise everyone to start stockpiling food and supplies.
