Athens, Greece – Stun grenades echoed across the square today in Athens outside the Parliament building and acrid clouds of tear gas hung in the streets. The violence continued sporadically after Greece approved more austerity measures needed to avert default next month.

Authorities and emergency services said 31 police and 15 protesters were injured and transferred to hospitals, while 30 people were detained, and 11 arrested.
Volunteer doctors said they had treated about 40 people, most with facial injuries and breathing problems, at a makeshift treatment site at a metro station next to parliament. Protesters were seen leaving the site with bandaged heads.
Head medical volunteer Flegas Stagos said more seriously wounded protesters were put onto the metro with volunteers so they could receive treatment away from the tear gas.
