Greeks demonstrate in memory of Alexis Grigoropoulos

Thousands of people demonstrated in the centre of Thessaloniki in memory of the 15 year old student Alexis Grigoropoulos, who was shot dead by a police officer in Athens six years ago and in support of Nikos Romanos who has been on hunger strike since the 10th of November. The 21 year old Nikos Romanos was arrested for robbery in 2013. He gave University Entrance Exams from inside the prison and he is now a college student. His demand is to be given the necessary permission from the prison in order to complete his studies (Photo by Giannis Papanikos/NurPhoto)
