Three injured in violence at Athens university campus
- On Wednesday, a group of people, some wearing helmets, attacked a student assembly at the University of Athens campus, injuring three people; police are investigating but no arrests have been reported.
- The Greek Education Ministry condemned the violence, stating it "insulted the academic community and undermined freedom of expression" amid pressure to secure campuses before planned demonstrations this month.
- Greece's medical emergency service and the Athens News Agency reported three victims were treated at an Athens hospital for non-critical injuries, though authorities provided no details on the unidentified attackers.
- Thousands of students and teachers marched across Greece last month demanding higher state funding and better facilities, with engineering student Panagiotis Moschonas criticizing the rent subsidy as "not even enough for half a rent."
- While authorities have not confirmed a link between the campus assault and recent protests, teacher Ioannis Rompas noted that demonstrations in Greece have previously turned violent amid ongoing socioeconomic grievances.
