About 700 so-called anti-state activists protested in central Athens on Saturday against maximum security prisons, for the release of terrorist Savvas Xiros as well as in support of several inmates on a hunger strike.

Police forces discreetly followed the rally.

After rally was over, unknown assailants “promoted their cause” by writing various slogans on walls, throwing paint at a luxury hotel and smashing a bank ATM.

Low intensity incidents on Patission avenue outside the Athens Polytechnic university followed.

Strong police forces trying to keep the situation under control.

Revolutionary tactics on this sunny Saturday afternoon included “urban warriors” wearing gas masks and hoodies setting up roadblocks and lighting state owned … garbage cans on fire while at the same time pelting objects at nearby riot police.
