‘We’re afraid’: Greek plan to police universities panics students

is what un-academic freedom looks like. Banning political banners and not being allowed to shout out ur voice against the government in rallies inside the campuses under the government. In the Philippines there is no law u can't raise political banners and shout out what u have to say anywhere.

"Under Iranian law, police, revolutionary guards and other militia are not allowed to enter universities".
Well done fascist Greece - they've made the Ayatollah look liberal.

For anyone who still needs explaining especially left-wingers, and Greek left-wingers at that. HOLDING SOMEONE HOSTAGE....IS A GOOD REASON AS TO WHY CAMPUS SECURITY SHOULD EXIST.

Perhaps it is now fair for both Greece and Turkey to stop lecturing one another whenever a student protest occurs in one of their own universities.

Greece became a police state, I am leaving as soon as possible, this is not the country I grew up, after the 2011 recession everything has gone for the worse.

The issue with anarchists taking hostages has nothingg to do with the fact of the law that cites "noise pollution" and "troublemakers" as criminal offenses. :/

Sounds a lot like what's happening in America but with opposite sides

[SerenityMLSAMLN]

Restricting troublemakers, provocateurs, rioters and individuals that causes disorder at universities sounds like a perfect policy to implement nationally. Preventing disorder and chaos, especially at places where peace and effective learning is supposed to be the norm, is something that everyone should be onboard at. Good on Greece.

Only those planning to create trouble should be "panicked". No one else.
