The footage shows officers – who reportedly had given no prior warning to the students to disperse – chasing protesters, hitting them indiscriminately with batons, and spraying gas into a crowd of people they had cornered around the university entrance.
There were reports of about a dozen injuries. Witnesses said they saw photojournalist Giannis Liakos of InTime agency being stuck in the head with a baton by a riot policeman.
The students had planned to hold a general assembly to discuss events earlier in the day at Athens University, where riot police moved in to prevent the building being occupied ahead of Monday’s commemoration of the 1973 Polytechnic uprising which was bloodily suppressed by the junta.

Police blocks students from entering Law School to avoid occupation
The students pushed back intended to occupy the building for the November 1973 student uprising
Thursday, November 13, 2014
The police was called out on Thursday morning at the Law School in the city center, in order to block access to a group of students, who were believed to have intended to occupy the building. Two students were injured during the clashes, one of whom was taken to a hospital for treatment.
The Rectorate of the University of Athens and Athens University of Economics and Business requested police assistance in order to ensure that the buildings were not occupied for the 17th November anniversary, as decided by student assemblies. The Technical University of Athens will be the only institution that will be open on Monday for the anniversary of the 1973 student uprisings.
Riot police units were stationed outside the building of the Law School and the University of Economics early on Thursday morning and had to use tear gas in order to disperse a crowd of students that was attempting to enter the buildings. About 7,000 police officers are expected to be deployed for the three-day student uprising celebrations.
The decision to contact the police is indicative of the intentions of the new Rector of the University of Athens, Mr. Theodoros Fortsakis, whose decisions have escalated tensions with students. Meanwhile, the administrative employees of the University of Athens will walkout today.
Students decide to occupy buildings
Earlier, on Wednesday, student assemblies of the Schools of Philosophy and Law decided to occupy the buildings, demanding the reappointment of the University of Athens’ administrative employees who have been suspended. The student assemblies also object to the Rector’s decisions regarding building security and the expulsion of “eternal students.
Similarly at the National Technical University of Athens, student assemblies at the Schools of Mechanical Engineering and the Rural and Surveying Engineering decided to shut down between the 14th and 17th of November. Many other schools outside of Athens have also carried out assemblies ahead of the 17 November anniversary. The School of Chemistry at the University of Patra had already occupied and after briefly reopening on Wednesday, students decided to close until Monday.

Pan-Education demonstration to take place in Athens at noon
Tension increases ahead of the 17 November anniversary – Students occupy Rectorate in Thessaloniki
Friday, November 14, 2014
There is a tense climate in education lately, due to the precautionary lockout that the Rectors decided ahead of the celebrations of the 17 November anniversary.
Following the clashes with riot police outside the Law School and the Technical University in Athens on Thursday, students in Thessaloniki occupied the administration building at the University of Thessaloniki. According to preliminary reports, the students entered the administration building early on Friday morning, where the Rector’s office is located, and removed the security guards.
Meanwhile, many student unions and associations have called for mass participation in a pan-educational demonstration that has been scheduled for noon outside the Propylaea in down town Athens. The students denounce the “authoritarianism and police state”, in reference to police conduct on Thursday.
The administrative employees of the University of Athens are also participating in the demonstration and accuse the Rectors of shutting down the Schools and blocking student union decisions.
University professors have also announced that they will join the demonstration at Propylaea at 2pm, in response to the Ministry of Education’s plans regarding understaffed schools and the proposal to pay teachers with accreditation points.
The Dean of the School of Economics and Political Sciences has criticized the Rector of the University of Athens Theodoros Fortsakis for the presence of riot police units outside university buildings. The Dean stresses that the riot police officers violently pushed away students who were demonstrating peacefully, injuring some of them in the process.

Amid rising tensions, students occupy Aristotle University administrative HQ As tensions rise in Greek universities ahead of the November 17 anniversary marking the junta's bloody suppression of a student uprising, a group of students on Friday occupied the administrative faculty of Thessaloniki Aristotle University. The students forced their way into the faculty and took over the area despite efforts by security guards to push them back. The move comes amid rising tensions over troika-imposed education reforms. On Thursday, scuffles between police and students outside Athens University left two students injured and there were clashes when a group of students attempted to enter the grounds of the Technical University of Athens (the former Polytechnic) to hold a general assembly, prompting police to push them back with batons and chemicals.

danke
für die tolle zusammenfassung. im griech. bildungssystem haben sich wohl in den letzten jahren unbemerkt die faschisten breitgemacht. auf twitter gibt es etliche accs, welche zeitnah u. in verschiedenen sprachen live informieren. komischerweise hat twitter immernoch keine griechischen hashtags eingeführt.
