Hey everyone! 🌟 Athens was buzzing last night, but not in the way you’d expect. A massive crowd took to the streets to honor the memory of Alexandros Grigoropoulos, a 15-year-old student whose life was tragically cut short by police violence in 2008.
The peaceful march started with heartfelt speeches and candlelight vigils 🕯️. Young people from all over gathered to stand against injustice and remember Alexandros. But as the night wore on, tensions rose. Some groups clashed with police, leading to a tense atmosphere in the city.
This incident has struck a chord with many of us here in South and Southeast Asia. It reminds us of the power of youth voices and the importance of standing up for what’s right ✊. Let’s keep the conversation going and support movements that push for positive change worldwide!
Stay safe and stay informed, folks! 🌏❤️
