A group of 40 protesters stormed a studio of Greece's state NET
television, breaking into a scheduled newscast to
rally public support for antigovernment demonstrations. The protesters
unfurled a black banner reading:
"Stop watching television. Take to the streets." The newscast had
been broadcasting statements by Prime Minister
Kostas Karamanlis on the riots that have rattled Greece since the Dec.
6 police shooting of a teenage boy.
The president of NET, Christos Panagopoulos, called the incident "a
premeditated act that went beyond all measures of social tolerance and
protest."
