With a letter sent to Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and party leaders on Monday, the rectorate of Athens University pleaded the Greek government to take steps to end the occupation of the institution’s main building by anti-establishment protesters who demand the closure of maximum security prisons and the release of suspects detained on suspicion of associating with members of urban guerrilla groups. Besides the obstruction of the university’s day-to-day activities, the university officials have expressed fears that the situation endangers human lives as, according to their sources, there are addicts taking drugs on the premises. The sit-in demonstration counts 15 days already.
