Athens, Greece – On the morning of February 7, the Sampanis family gathered on a street corner in Perama, Athens, to build a small memorial on the side of the road where 18-year-old Nikos Sampanis had been killed by police four months earlier.
Nikos’ father and uncle stacked two cement blocks, covered them with white plaster, and fixed a small church on top. His elder sister Katerina sat beside them, crying, holding the hand of another brother, Georgos.
