Leftist Protesters Accidently Set Comrade on Fire During Demonstration 18 Apr 2021 A demonstrator at a protest in the Greek city of Thessaloniki was accidentally set on fire after far-left anarchists hit him in the leg with a Molotov cocktail. The incident took place earlier this week at a protest against allowing police to operate on university campuses, in which around 7,000 people participated in a march against the new law. The rally started peacefully but developed into riots as a group of around 100 protestors violently clashed with police, throwing various objects at officers including Molotov cocktail petrol bombs.
