The Glasgow Anarchist Federation calls for a picket outside the Greek consulate on Wednesday to coincide with our fellow workers general strike in Greece.
Since the cold blooded murder of young Alexandros Grigoropoulos on Saturday Greek cities have been alight with the flames of anger. We cannot allow the Greek state to attempt to stifle this anger by simply arresting the murderous police officers. The entire system of governance is to blame. Like the police in this country who feel able to murder youths the Greek police are simply better armed.
Join us this Wednesday outside the Greek consulate to voice your anger at this heinous murder.
The Greek Consulate is located at
1 Kirklee Quadrant
Glasgow
Tel: 0141 334 0360
We shall gather there from 2pm this wednesday as our fellow workers in Greece down tools in a general strike to express their disgust with the police and the state.
Please bring whistles, drums and anything else that will make a noise.

Thanks for the photos!
Also, that's an extract from a recent Times article:
"He (Alexandros Grigoropoulos) apparently belonged to a cluster of Athenian youths from well-to-do families who enjoy goading police on a Saturday night in the troubled district of Exarchia.
The shooting prompted parents all over the country to examine the liberties they have been permitting their children."

I think we should consider writing a letter to send to the media in order to try stopping them from covering the events in such an offensive way.
I have nothing in my hands
I have nothing to look up to
I have nothing to expect for
no dreams,no future, no dawn
I couldn't learn to love this slavery
and now I am lost;
the control to my life was always present but not from me;
the decisions were made but not by me;
now the shadow before my eyes has come;
the midnight in my heart is here;
my mind is in dark but
my soul never gives up!
