The annual celebrations of the Athens Polytechnic Uprising 17 November 1974, that was a massive demonstration of popular rejection of the Greek military junta of 1967–1974 took place this year again at the spot of National Technical University of Athens. Thousands of protesters gave tribute with carnations to the "Monument to the uprising" of the anti-junta revolt that ended in bloodshed in the early morning of November 17 1974 after a series of events starting with a tank crashing through the gates of the Polytechnic. © PACIFIC PRESS/Alamy Live News
