At 11:55 a.m., about 10 minutes after the announcement of the decision of the Athens Court of Appeals, and while the large crowd, at least 20,000 people, dispersed, the police forces attacked with Molotov cocktails, stones and other objects of about 600 people, at the intersection of K. Loukareos and L. Alexandras streets ”reads the Police announcement.
As the News 24/7 video, which was posted long before the ad went out, clearly shows, what the police say has nothing to do with reality.
The video is 1 minute and 13 seconds long. In the second twentieth of the video, the announcement is made through the loudspeakers, where it is mentioned that the Three-Member Court of Criminal Appeal announced that Golden Dawn is a criminal organization.
Exactly 40 seconds later, at 1:00 in the video, you can see the water cannon and the use of chemicals by the police forces, while the Molotov cocktails were not fired by the protesters. The police announcement, which claims that it all started 10 minutes after the announcement and after Molotov cocktails were thrown, is refuted with tangible evidence from the News 24/7 video.
The GADA report continues: “The target of the attack was the destruction of Police vehicles, blocking access to the Court of Appeal. 10 police vehicles were damaged.
The police used pressurized water pumps to repel the attack. As there was no withdrawal of the attackers, chemicals were used to dismantle them. At the same time, water continued to be poured to reduce the effects of chemicals on the gathering crowd that was leaving. More than 150 Molotov cocktails were fired at police, mainly during the chase on Alexandra Avenue. “The police forces made two arrests.”
The use of chemicals – which appears in the video to begin 40 seconds after the announcement of the decision – was carried out among thousands of people, indiscriminately and extensively, like the splashes of water from the Aiada pump. After the Police business, incidents followed where both fired Molotov cocktails, and other elements of the handful of protesters and while the rest 20,000 left, trying to protect themselves from the suffocating environment that had been created.
