‘We Interrupt This Broadcast’: Police Raid Greece’s Occupied TV Station


Workers and supporters react after police fired tear gas near ERT’s headquarters. (Photo: AP/Thanassis Stavrakis)Greek riot police raided the country’s shuttered ERT public broadcasting station headquarters on Thursday, cutting off journalist Nikos Tsimbidas mid-broadcast as he reported from the scene of a five-month-long occupation led by former workers.

“Believe me, it’s a shocking experience to be on the mic with two platoons of riot police surrounding the live broadcasting booth,” he said on air, the Independent reports. “We are being removed, I’ve just been informed that it appears orders have been given for me to stop talking.”

The police violently removed approximately 50 former workers and detained at least four people, according to a police spokesman, with Tsimbidas among them.

Meanwhile, police fired teargas against the reported 300 people who gathered outside of the station chanting in support of those under siege inside.

Journalists have continued to transmit broadcasts over the internet for the five months since their station went dark, but after the raid, the station went silent.
