Protesters Set Fire to US Flag amid Pompeo Visit to Greece (+Video)
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Greek police fired tear gas at demonstrators who were marching in protest for the visit of US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, in Athens.
Separate protests were held also in Thessaloniki. In both cities, protesters set American flags on fire.
As Pompeo visited the Greek capital Athens, groups of protesters marching to the US Embassy on Saturday clashed with police, who fired teargas to disperse them, Reuters reported.
Earlier, several hundred demonstrators had gathered in Athens’s main Syntagma square, chanting “Americans, Murderers of Peoples” to protest against the extension of a defence agreement between the two countries.
They held banners reading “Pompeo go home - No to the Greece-USA agreement”.
