Protesters charged over October 28 incidents

On Tuesday, charges were brought against 17 people identified by police as having participated in anti-austerity protests which led to the cancellation of the annual Thessaloniki military parade marking Greece’s entry into the Second World War in 1940.

The incident occurred on October 28, when two separate groups of protesters blocked the route, while a number of those present verbally attacked Greek President Karolos Papoulias.
