People in Greece are holding their biggest protests for years and taking part in a general strike to mark the second anniversary of a rail disaster that left 57 dead and dozens more injured.
Tempers have flared and clashes have broken out with police, while bombs were thrown and police used tear gas.
On 28 February 2023, a passenger train packed with students collided head-on with a goods train near the Tempi gorge in central Greece.
An inquiry concluded on Thursday that the accident was caused by human error, poor maintenance, and inadequate staffing.
"Those children were killed because the train was not safe," said Christos Papadimitriou, chief of Greece’s Air and Rail Accident Investigation Authority.
