Vandals destroy Ermou street over court decision

Shortly after the announcement of Justice's decision to maintain 29-year-old Irianana in jail, about 200 people broke store windows on Ermou Street, from the height of Nikis to Monastiraki Street. Ermou street is the main shopping venue in downtown Athens, where more than 40 shops were vandalized.

The shopkeepers, measuring the damage today, are talking about "expensive" disasters, while talking about the responsibility of the police forces in the area as they were passive onlookers towards the hooded people who vandalized everything in their wake.

The court decision referred to a young doctoral canidate jailed for her connections with an urban terrorist cell through her male companion. The woman has only been identified by her first name.
