Photojournalists And Journalists Protest Against Police Violence Toward Media Professionals
The photojournalist Marios Lolos participates in a protest outside the Ministry of Citizen Protection in Athens, Greece, on January 31, 2025, against police violence toward media professionals. This demonstration is organized by the Union of Greek Photojournalists (EFE) and the Foreign Press Association (FPA) in response to an incident on January 26, during an honor protest for the 57 people who died in the Tempe train crash. Riot police fire a flashbang grenade that strikes photojournalist Marios Lolos in the head before detonating. Lolos sustains injuries, including ear damage and bruising, and expresses concerns about potential long-term hearing loss. He emphasizes that the grenade appears to have been thrown with intent to cause serious harm. (Photo by Nikolas Kokovlis/NurPhoto)
