From the After the Greek Riots blog :
A few hours ago corporate media reported that cops Korkoneas and Saraliotis, the murderers of Alexis Grigoropoulos, are to stand trial on December 15th, in the town of Amfissa. With a population of just under 7,000, Amfissa lies approximately 120 km NE of Patras and 210 km NW of Athens. It has been chosen for its small size and poor transport access, in an obvious attempt to to make it harder for people to get there. As if! On December 15th, we'll be in Amfissa then…
Before the cops' trial however, there is the annual commemoration of the anti-dictatorial student uprising of November 17th, 1973. The ministry of public order (in its new doublespeak, ministry of “citizen protection”) is trying to keep the calm ahead of this date – and of course December 6th, the date of Alexis' assassination, is not too far in the horizon.
