Anarchist groups protesting convictions of members of Greece’s November 17 terrorist group demonstrated in downtown Athens on Thursday and claimed responsibility for overnight firebomb attacks.
About 250 people chanted “Freedom for the November 17 fighters” as riot police watched. Police blocked a road leading to the U.S. Embassy before demonstrators dispersed.
Fifteen members of the far-left group November 17 were convicted Monday after a nine-month trial. Four other suspects were cleared and released.
Firebombings late Wednesday destroyed property but injured no one.
