Greek protestors invade TV studio...

A group of around 100 hooded and masked protesters threw petrol bombs and rocks at the police station in the centre of the capital, damaging seven cars and a police bus, in a revival of the unrest which was triggered by the fatal shooting of a 15-year-old schoolboy by a police officer 11 days ago.

Protesters occupied a studio at the state broadcaster, NET, interrupting a news bulletin by holding up banners calling for mass participation in the protests which have convulsed Greece since the shooting of Alexandros Grigoropoulos, 15, in Athens on Dec 6.

Footage of a speech by Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis was suddenly replaced by students who held up banners which read: "Stop watching, get out onto the streets," and "Free everyone who has been arrested." Full story...
