Reporters covering protest rallies will have designated positions assigned by the police, as well as a police liaison, according to the new police operational plans for managing demonstrations unveiled on Thursday by Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chrisochoidis, ANA reports.
Other changes will include an interactive platform operating through the Taxisnet system for rally organizers to provide information and use of “high-volume” megaphones that police will use to warn organizers and protestors if the protest is infiltrated by “outside” elements or to suggest escape routes if the police decide to break up a demonstration using water cannons or tear gas.
