Rioters burn cars and garbage containers in Exarcheia after protest march
Anti-establishment protesters set fire to garbage containers in Exarcheia square and surrounding streets and burned two cars in central Athens on Tuesday (17/03/2015) evening, following a protest march which took place earlier from Monastiraki to Syntagma Square, police said.
Protesters are demanding the release of prisoners who are serving sentences for terrorism-related crimes.
Protesters reached Syntagma and then the body of the march was divided in two, with one section continuing to Exarcheia.
