A new law violates people’s human rights, and the police is attacking demonstrators!

Greece passes law regulating demonstrations, thousands march in Athens

ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece’s parliament approved a bill on Thursday regulating street demonstrations as thousands marched through central Athens to denounce the new law.

The law was introduced by Greece’s conservative government in an attempt to regulate demonstrations which it says cause frequent disruptions to the public and affect commerce.

About 10,000 demonstrators rallied outside parliament holding banners reading “hands off demonstrations”. A group of protesters who peeled off from the main group threw petrol bombs at police, who responded with teargas.

The bill mandates the appointment of a liaison officer, restrictions on demonstrations or outright bans if authorities deem they threaten public safety. It also holds organisers accountable for harm or damage caused by protesters.

The new legislation was approved by 187 lawmakers in the 300-seat parliament.

Street protests occur frequently in Greece, which is still recovering from a deep socioeconomic crisis that erupted in late 2009 and led to three international bailouts on tough austerity terms.

During the crisis, Syntagma Square in front of parliament was the scene of large anti-austerity protests, some of which turned violent. Demonstrations have continued during the economic recovery but turnout has fallen.

“One’s freedom to protest is as valuable as another person’s freedom to reach the hospital, his work, his home,” said Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in a parliamentary address supporting the bill.

The new rules aim to replace a 1971 junta decree restricting rallies. Unionists and opposition parties accuse the government of acting preemptively to quash any opposition to possible fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.

“The government ... dares boldly with a junta-inspired bill to promote new restrictions to quash and destroy a main democratic right, which our people conquered through bloody battles,” unionist Dimitris Karagiannis said before the vote.

Habebe, what is the punishment for subversive activities, separatism and terrorism in the US? Life sentence?

Btw, doesn’t the US jail people for many years for possession of marijuana? lol

And if you are caught shoplifting in the US there is a death penalty that is carried out immediately by the police officer.

Paramount, Like making fun of the president? People have made careers about it, in HK now you can't even watch winnie the pooh.

"Btw, doesn’t the US jail people for many years for possession of marijuana? lol"

What? Where do you get your info? Even in areas where it isnt legal its usually 30 days probation.

The US has its problems. But that doesn't excuse China regardless. Just as the revwrae. Isn't true either.
