Greece Repeat History
During October 2012 there were media reports from Athens stating that 30 protesters were hurt (including two with serious head injuries) with two policeman also hurt.
Twelve people have been arrested and 193 detained - the difference being that those arrested are accused of a specific offense, while those detained could simply be taken to a police station to prove their identity.
Strange how history repeats itself because on 19th November 1973, close to 40 years ago, tanks and demonstrators met in the streets of Athens as students of the Athens polytechnic gather to demand an end to the Papadopoulos regime.
