Manolis Glezos, 88, is a historical figure of the greek Left, being one of the two people who dragged down the Nazi flag from the Acropolis during Athens’ Nazi occupation. Today, the 88-year old was tear-gassed by police (pic, below) and is in hospital in a critical but non-life threatening condition.

I was reading on Wikipedia about Glezos after reading this thread, he sounds like an amazing man. I hope he recovers quickly!
