In a recent development in northern Greece, students occupying a law school as a form of protest against government plans to allow private universities were forcibly removed from the building by the police. The operation was carried out in response to a request for assistance from university authorities in the town of Komotini and resulted in the arrest of twelve individuals. Thankfully, no clashes were reported during the operation.
The students who had occupied the law school were preventing approximately 400 students, who were scheduled to take exams on Monday, from entering the building. Additionally, the university staff was also impacted by the occupation. Consequently, the police intervention was deemed necessary to restore normalcy.
