Students clash with police during protest, four lightly injured

Police and protestors clashed during a student protest rally organised by mainly far-left groups on Thursday outside Parliament. Four of the protestors were slightly injured during the scuffles and five people were detained and brought into police headquarters.

A few hundred students took part in the rally and march to Parliament, shouting slogans against the EU-IMF memorandum and education ministry proposals for reforming universities. As the march was going past Parliament, a group of protestors attempted to break through the riot police cordon outside but were driven back. Some clashed with MAT riot police, leading to the injury of four protestors.
