Greeks march to commemorate student uprising

ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greeks took to the streets by the tens of thousands on Saturday to commemorate the 39th anniversary of a deadly student uprising against the country’s former dictatorship.

While the marches went on peacefully, clashes between anarchists and police erupted briefly in the capital, Athens and Greece’s second-largest city of Thessaloniki, in both cases far from where the marches took place. Police announced they detained 70 people in Athens and 19 in Thessaloniki.
