Live updates from the General Strike, day 2 – October 20

18.32 Confirmed report that a 53-year old builder has just died from police’s chemical warfare.

17.26 From Athens Indymedia: there are clashes between protesters and DIAS/DELTA in the narow side-streets below Syntagma (Ermou, Athinas, around Monastiraki etc). A few thousand demonstrators have gathered in Syntagma and more still try to come but are blocked by police at the side streets.

17.13 More than 40 injured people at Evangelismos hospital. Police launched a surgical attack on the street, making way for PAME to leave Syntagma from Panepistimiou Ave, to move toward Omonoia square. Other groups of demonstrators are now moving back into Syntagma where the police presence has increased.
