Demonstration against state police violence and in memory of Alex (9/12)


About 150-200 people took to the streets (Anarchists, youth against nationalism, gate 9) to demonstrate for a second day in Nicosia. With 3 banners, anti-police and state slogans and giving out text papers we marched through the center of town. We stopped outside of a police station and shouted slogans then continued towards the Greek embassy of Cyprus. On the way a "secret" policeman was spotted inside the demonstrated and was told to get out. At the Greek embassy we shouted slogans and tried to remove the barbed wire. We stayed there for about half an hour while a few rocks where through n at the policemen. Many oranges where though n as well at the police from another street. We passed from the Greek Army house aswell and ended up at Eleftheria square.
