Thousands Protest Raid of State Broadcaster in Greece 
------------------------------------------------------


 
Thousands of people rallied in Greece on Sunday following a police raid
on the state's broadcaster. Employees of ERT had remained in their
offices since June when the station was abruptly shut down, part of a
series of cost-cutting moves demanded by international creditors. But
the ERT workers were finally evicted last week when riot police broke in
to the network and cleared it room by room. On Sunday, Greece's ruling
party survived a censure vote over the raid brought by the opposition.
