Greece: Biker cops damaging public property

Показать описание
Another example of greek cops being reckless, thinking that they can drive whether they want, endangering people, themselves and public property, like in this case on the pavement of Syntagma Square, the central square of Athens, in front of the greek parliament. The pavement over there is made of marble, that due to its everyday use, is like driving on glass. Is the reckless rider going to pay for the damage he has caused or is the greek public once again will be obliged to pay for his recklessness?
The incident took place on March 2, 2021, during a pre-gathering for a protest in solidarity with Dimitris Koufodinas, who has been on a hunger strike since the 8th of January 2021.
As it has been recorded in many videos, dozens of biker cops roamed all over the square in an attempt to intimidate and spread fear amongst protesters. And while they had several protesters encircled, suddenly hundreds of other protesters “flooded” Syntagma Sq., forcing them to flee in a hurry. This motorbike cop was one of them.
Dimitris Koufodinas, now 63 years old, is on hunger strike for the last 55 days. His demand is to be transferred to Korydallos prison, but mainly, an end to the arbitrary political interventions against him that treat him as a political prisoner.
Even after 55 days without food, the greek government refuses his right to equal treatment. His death is considered imminent with unforeseen consequences.
If Dimitris Koufontinas dies he will be the first prisoner on hunger strike to die in the European Union, since the death of Bobby Sands and his comrades in 1981, 40 years ago, in Northern Ireland, under the Margaret Thatcher regime.
