Nine European nationals are set to be deported from Greece for their participation in disruptive anti-Israel demonstrations on the campus of University of Athens School of Law last month. The protesters awaiting deportation are from Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Spain. The Greek protesters were released pending trial last Tuesday but the nine foreign nationals – one man and eight women, aged 22 to 33 – remain in custody pending an administrative decision on their deportation. Lawyers Ioanna Sioupouli and Anny Paparoussou said their clients, who live and work in Greece, planned to appeal. In 2019, Greece’s conservative government scrapped a law that had prohibited police from entering universities, saying the legislation was used as a cover for lawlessness.
