Demonstration outside the Greek Embassy in London on Thursday (4pm 18th December)

Demonstration outside the Greek Embassy in London on Thursday (4pm 18th December) showing solidarity with workers and students in Greece.

This is after the police murder of teenager Alexis Grigoropoulos and the ongoing protests against the government. It also falls on the same day as a strike from health workers. The resistance continues after more than 10 days of protest in a number of cities across the country, inlcuding a general strike, student walk outs, riots and confrontation with the police, students occupying a number of buildings (including the brief takeover of a TV channel), and various acts of solidarity across Europe.
