Alexandros Alexis Grigoropoulos

In memoriam

On the 6th December of 2008, 15 year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos was gunned down in cold blood by a police officer in the center of Athens. The murder proved to be a spark for a wave of often violent protests that rocked Greek cities for days as popular outrage reached a boiling point. Six years later, Nikos Romanos, his best friend who was with Alexandros when he was shot, is on the 26th day of a prison hunger strike.
