ATHENS (Reuters) - Greek police fired tear gas, stun grenades and water cannon to disperse dozens of protesters who rallied in central Athens on Wednesday in solidarity with a hunger striking convicted assassin from the disbanded leftist November 17 militant group.
Dimitris Koufodinas is serving multiple life terms for several crimes, including 13 murders, out of 23 killings claimed by the Marxist group which operated for almost three decades until authorities arrested its leaders in 2002.
