Tue 07, 1953 - Students Demonstrate in Athens over the Cyprus Question: A rowdy demonstration took place in Athens recently- over the old question of Cyprus. It was originally organized by the students committee for Cypriot Struggle as a protest against the United nations' Assembly refusal to enter the Cypriot question on the agends. The demonstration started very quietly in the Athens University Squares. After a few Firey speeches the situation got out of hand when some students - said to be communists- suggested going to the various embassies. When police tried to stop them - the communist students started throwing stones and sticks. The fire bridge turned up and stopped the riots by using their hoses. Twenty three students and forty-five policemen were injured.
