> Clinton's trip to Greece shorten to one day. But the protest will be banned when Clinton arrive. hui, yes Clinton's trip is now one day from three days. And no, protests will not be banned...they may try to block them off from the front of the American embassy or wherever he will have a public appearance <if?>...Bottom line, this man is hated for his constant lies about solving the Cyprus problem and brutally attacking a sovereign nation over preposterous claims of "ethnic cleansing"

[10] Protests banned in central Athens on Friday, Saturday Athens, 17/11/1999 (ANA) All protests, rallies and marches have been banned in central Athens during the upcoming visit of US President Bill Clinton on orders of the Attica police chief, issued late yesterday. The orders stated that for "reasons of public safety" all outdoor assemblies or marches of organised groups throughout central Athens and from the airport to the centre of the Greek capital are banned Pbeginning on Friday at 3 p.m. and ending on Saturd ay at 5 p.m. The orders, issued by police chief Giorgos Skaltsas, noted that any attempt to violate the ban will be "opposed with all legal means, while participants in such protests will be prosecuted". Meanwhile, traffic police in Attica announced that several main boulevards and roads leading from the airport to the centre of the city via Piraeus will be closed to traffic at certain sections during the arrival and departure of the US president. All other traffic will be directed through detours. ---------------------- The current govt. (which is doing a great job IMO) are going out of their way to keep Clinton from seeing how hated he is there... I will be in Athens Friday 4.30 pm to Saturday afternoon. I am staying in the central area and I will let all know what the extent of the demonstrations will be...I just hope I do not get to ride the taxi for hours since they will be blocking roads (traffic in Athens is horrible). and of coure I hope noone does anything stupid...
