GREEK lawyers have appealed for international support and solidarity after a case was filed against Thanasis Kampagiannis and Costas Papadakis for “violating the extraordinary measures banning public gatherings.”

The pair were among some 100 people arrested in the Greek capital Athens for allegedly attending a memorial held to mark the 12^th anniversary of the murder of Alexis Grigoropoulos by police.

Authorities banned the ceremony citing coronavirus restrictions.
