Albanians arrested in Greece’s riots

ATHENS, Greece, Dec 7 – A few Albanians were among 784 people detained, including 136 people who were arrested, for public order offenses in connection with the demonstrations across Greece during the 48 hours from Saturday until early Monday. Those detained included 58 foreigners, including people from Turkey, France, Germany, Italy and Albania.
Masked youths smashed store windows and hurled rocks and firebombs at riot police who responded with tear gas during commemorations of last year’s fatal police shooting of a teenager.
The death last year of 15-year-old Alexis Grigoropoulos led to some of the worst rioting Greece had ever seen, with gangs of youths smashing, looting and burning stores in cities across the country for two weeks, protesting heavy-handed police tactics.
