THOUSANDS of people took to the streets of Athens, Thessaloniki and other cities in Greece on Tuesday night to protest at police violence following the shooting of a Roma teenager.

Police in Thessaloniki, the country’s second city, shot Kostas Frangoulis, 16, in the head on Monday morning.

Kostas, who was still fighting for his life this afternoon, is accused of leaving a petrol station without paying for fuel worth €20 (£17.20).
