Washington Post:
Seven German protesters were detained by police Friday after attending an anti-austerity protest outside their country’s embassy in Athens.
The seven, detained after eggs were thrown at the building, were later released without charge, police said.
Nearby, high school students demonstrated outside parliament and briefly clashed with police.
Protests have flared again after last weekend’s vote by Greek lawmakers to back a new round of harsh austerity measures in return for massive new bailout deals. The vote in parliament triggered mass protests and riots in Athens and other cities that left stores looted and burned, and more than 120 people hurt.
The country’s two largest unions are planning another protest in central Athens Sunday.
