Greek students have called for daily protests starting Monday,
10 days after the police killing of a 15-year-old boy in Athens
sparked demonstrations that have thrown the country into turmoil.
Monday's sit-in is set to take place in front of the country's
national police headquarters, with students urging similar demonstrations
in front of police precincts across the country.
They have called for roads to be blocked on Tuesday, a demonstration
Wednesday outside the courthouse where the police involved in
the shooting will be testifying, and a nationwide protest on Thursday.
Authorities are bracing for potential violence following more
than a week of riots which have become an outlet for simmering
anger about the economy, education and jobs.

The unrest is threatening the government's hold on power, with
some opposition groups calling for fresh elections. Stores and
international businesses have been attacked, and at least 280
people have been detained by police. Of that total, 176 were arrested,
130 of them over looting.
There was a rash of demonstrations Saturday, the one-week anniversary
of the death of Alexis Grigoropolous, including attacks on a police
station in the Athens district of Exarchaia and on the environment
ministry building by angry protesters with stones and Molotov
cocktails.
The main demonstration Saturday was a peaceful candlelit vigil
in front of Parliament on Syntagma Square in the capital.
