Dublin: Greek Embassy Picket

In Solidarity and Grief

Meet at 5pm at the top of Grafton Street. March to the Greek Embassy on Upper Pembroke Street.

“We will make clear to the Greek authorities that we will not tolerate the violent suppression of dissent by any State. Freedom of conscience is a cornerstone of real democracy. The anarchists of Greece were at the forefront of the 1970’s struggles against the Greek military dictatorship and their continued refusal to submit to repression in any form has won them popular support. Politically-motivated killings by the police force of a fellow European state must not pass unremarked upon by the Irish people. Anarchists believe that an injury to one is an injury to all. We urge anyone who would defend our individual freedoms from arbitrary attack to join us tomorrow evening at 5pm to show their support."

In memory of Alexandros Grigoropoulos, a 15 year old who was shot and killed by police in Athens on Saturday night. His death has provoked large scale protests, occupations and strikes all over Greece.

A call has been made for International Solidarity. There have already been Greek Embassy pickets in London and Berlin.

March to Greek Embassy. 9th Dec. 2008
Meet at 5pm, top of Grafton Street.
