Various legal troubles of anti-fascists

Inspired by the other thread.

On 16/9 a total of 51 anti-fascists were arrested in Thessaloniki, Greece after having overwritten neo-nazi graffiti on some benches near a monument. A couple of days earlier members of one of the new Greek neo-nazi parties (after the judicial breakup of Golden Dawn it splintered into about a dozen groups/parties) had been spraying swastikas and other neo-nazi symbolism on the benches, and when the anti-fascists showed up to remove/overwrite these they were attacked by a bunch of police leaving 15 injured, of which 2 hospitalized. All 51 are now charged with

Quote:

1) Disobedience, because they refused to get their photos taken and fingerprints left;
2) Disorder to public order (this is a very common charge that is laid whenever someone protests);
3) Destruction of a public site, for the antifascist slogans they wrote to cover up those of the fascists. Apparently, for the Greek court, representing the bourgeois ′′ justice only fascist hate speech is allowed on the walls.
4) Breach of the Law on the Protection of Antiques.
5) Criminal prosecution for ′′ damage to monuments ". This claim was made through the Antique Conservative, who has no problem supporting this obscene lie, even though damaged ′′ monuments ′′ are actually benches located near the real historic monument of Salonika, the ′′ White Tower ".
