The police raid was carried out after information that unknown persons tried to cause damage to the library under construction, on the site of the former occupation of the Biological.
Specifically, some attempted to remove sheet metal from the library. Afterwards, the same people tried to hide inside the STHE and the police proceeded to intervene inside the school to locate them.
There were other people inside the school, as the STHE is under occupation.
In the meantime, speaking on Open TV, the representative of ELAS, Constantia Dimoglidou, noted that all 49 are accused of disrupting the operation of a public service.
As Mrs. Dimoglidou said, the wheel with which they tried to cut the sheets was also found.
