About 20 anti-state activists invaded the courtyard of the Greek parliament a short while ago, shouting slogans demanding the release of Savvas Xiros, a convicted N17 terrorist and the release of several incarcerated relatives of suspects belonging to another extreme left urban terrorist gang, the Conspiracy of the Cells of Fire.

The protestors managed to go past the police officers guarding the parliament building and reach the steps in front of the main entrance.

According to information, they stayed there for about five minutes, shouting slogans, before they got arrested. During this time, they also unfurled a large banner which identified them as members of the anarchist group Rubicon.
