Demonstration against state police violence and in memory of Alex (8/12)

On Monday 08/12 we organized a demonstration to the Greek embassy against the state police and in memory of the 15 year old Alex who was shot dead by a greek policeman in Athens on Saturday night. We shouted slogans against the state and the police and gave out a text. 100 meters away from the embassy the police put up barbed wires and where already waiting for us. Some of us jumped over to the other side but where pushed back violently from the police. In a couple of minutes the barbed wire was removed by the demonstrators and pushing and struggling was going on and two activists where arrested. When we found out where they where held(Paphos Gate station) we went and demanded them to set them free. After about one our of blocking a main street of Nicosia, they where set free and we left the station.
