Art and social protest: police violence in Athens
[N]umerous allegations have been received regarding excessive use of force, including the use of chemical irritants against peaceful or largely peaceful demonstrators, and the use of stun grenades in a manner that violates international standards. For example, video footage, photographs, press reports and witness testimonies point to the repeated use of excessive force by police in the demonstrations organized against the austerity measures on 15, 28 and 29 June 2011, including the excessive use of chemical irritants against largely peaceful demonstrators.

Apart from the charming greek police and their humanistic actions on which I refuse to comment, why haven't I seen guy denning's art before?! Excellent - thanks for sharing;)
