Ten individuals appeared before a prosecutor on Thursday after being arrested during clashes in downtown Athens on Wednesday during a demonstration held within the framework of the 24-hour nationwide general strike.

Three of them were minors and will be tried in a juvenile court.

Four of those arrested will be tried under the law providing harsher penalties for individuals that conceal their faces, such as by wearing hoods, and their case file has been forwarded to an examining magistrate.

The four are charged, among others, with inflicting grievous bodily harm upon police officers.

Two individuals will be tried for misdemeanours, while one was ordered released.

The charges filed by the prosecutor also include disturbing the peace
