From Occupied London…
01.03 Statement by the occupied law school (greek original):
It was decided by the assembly of the occupied law school for the occupation to continue.
We call all the people to take to the streets, to keep on fighting!
Nothing has ended, everything begins now.
The law school is a centre of struggle and will continue to be so!

Edit 20:30: Live english language updates from „Athens News“ (english language mainstream paper). Updates not only on the situation outside, but also on the impending vote on the next round of austerity measures.
Edit: German translation of the live ticker on Indymedia.
As of 20 30, there are still several points of conflict around downtown Athens, with hundreds of people defending the occupied law school, while thousands remain in front of parliament. Furthermore, all shops (Including a closed shopping center) on a square near Syntagma, appear to have been set on fire.
