A student protest in Athens against a bill that would allow the establishment of branches of foreign universities in Greece for the first time has turned violent.
As of 4pm, clashes between demonstrators and police have been reported at the Syntagma Square demonstration, and earlier on Stadiou Street near the Bank of Greece, where a group of protesters hurled petrol bombs at officers, who retorted with tear gas.
The protests, which are organized by student councils from around the country, have been joined by teacher unions, and labor unions.
