UPDATE, 16.35 GMT+2 The name of the 65-year old protester is reported to be Xenophon Lougaris.
UPDATE, 15.45 GMT+2 It appears that the protester who died today was 65-years old (not 67 as originally reported), a member of PAME and an ex-shipyard worker who was out of work (via radiobubble (http://news.radiobubble.gr/)).
A 67-year old male demonstration died in Athens today, after inhaling the tear gas thrown by the police against the demonstration. The 67-year old was transferred to the Evaggelismos hospital, where doctors soon pronounced him dead.
At least five more demonstrators were injured by the police’s attack against the demonstration. A minimum of 50 detentions of demonstrators have been confirmed so far, even though the number is expected to be much higherwonder whether pame/kke leadership will finaly solidly blame the cops this time or again put it all on "the hooded provocateurs" because clearly the workers in blue wouldnt attack if the anarchists didnt exist.
RIP may your death not be in vain...
