Violence in central Athens

Violence in central Athens

At least three people were injured and taken to hospital during
clashes that occurred in central Athens on Saturday between police,
protestors and supporters of extreme right and Leftist groups that had
organised rallies in the city centre. Tear gas was used to disperse
warring far-right supporters and Leftist youths that came to blows on
Stadiou Street.

At around 14:00, meanwhile, police clashed with left-wing,
anti-establishment youths that had set up road blocks and cut off
traffic on Panepistimiou Street. The youths responded by attacking
police with stones and bits of wood and were finally forced to scatter
into surrounding side-streets when police again used tear gas against
them.

According to a police announcement, the later incidents were
triggered when a group of a Leftist supporters that had gathered at
Klathmonos Square started to move toward the Propylaia of Athens
University, where they joined with another group carrying out a
pre-rally over genetically modified foods at Syntagma Square.

The protestors then blocked off Panepistimiou street and a
detachment of riot police attempted to drive them away, resulting in a
clash and attacks with stones. Police said that some of the protestors
took refuge within the university campus.

Three injured in clash between far-right and Leftist groups

Three people were injured in clashes between rival demonstrations
organised by ultra-right-wing supporters and extreme Left and
anti-establishment groups on Saturday. Members of the two rallies came
to blows on Stadiou Street in central Athens at around 11:00 in the
morning.

Two of the people injured were hit by stones and a third was
stabbed with a knife, while all three are now being treated at
Evangelismos Hospital.

Police said the far-right groups had gathered at Kolokotroni
Square, while the opposing Leftists groups had gathered at nearby
Klathmonos Square. At one point, both groups were making their way
down Stadiou Street and started attacking each other with stones,
lengths of wood and other objects.

The police intervened and dispersed the rival groups by using
teargas, while two people were injured and taken to hospital. Police
did not specify whether the injured belonged to either of the two
rival factions or were unlucky passers-by.

At around midday, the far-right supporters were still at
Kolokotroni Square and the Leftist supporters at Klathmonos but the
situation had calmed down. The far-right supporters departed from the
area late on Saturday afternoon, after talking with the public
prosecutor and the commanding officer of the police contingent.They
had originally planned a rally at Kolokotroni Square at 19:00 on
Saturday to mark the "anniversary of Imia".

At the same time, the Leftist and anti-establishment groups had
planned an anti-racism rally in the same place at 14:00 in the
afternoon, possibly in order to prevent the later rally by the
far-right groups.

Both groups gathered earlier, however, leading to the violence.

After the Impressive Results for the WSEAS Journals (see SJR factors
below), we have started now
the FREE and OPEN Publication of the PDF of the accepted papers on the
Web.

Free for all the Scientists to Publish & Free to Download everything!

So, our authors will be able to receive more citations.
This is necessary for the WSEAS impact, since now all the PDFs will be
open for all and we must
be competitive regarding the scientific quality.

The main criterion for publication is: Scientific Quality: Original
Work, Breakthrough Publications that
will bring CITATIONS to the Authors and to the WSEAS of course.


Example of OPEN PDFs
http://www.worldses.org/journals/economics/economics-march2007.htm

Simultaneously, the Journals will be published in HARD COPY. If
somebody needs the hard copy, he will pay
the cost.

* Unfortunately for the old issues we cannot open their PDFs because
we have some constraints
from the subscribers.

On the other hand, WSEAS puts the bar for acceptance extremely high.
We have given instructions to the Reviewers.
See: http://www.worldses.org/review/index.html

Our Statistics for the WSEAS Journals say that for every 10 papers, 1
is accepted and 9 is rejected, approximately. We are waiting the
review of extended papers from July 2007 - December 2007 to announce
the official statistics per journal. Up to now, the rejection rate is
approximately: 10% accepted, 90% rejected
(For Conferences: See for each conference the link:
http://www.wseas.org/reports/)

Please, forward this message to your colleagues.
