Look to our lawyers to turn us into a system of laws insetad of men.
On February 21 1973 law students went on strike and barricaded themselves inside the buildings of the Law School of the university of Athens in the centre of Athens, demanding the cancelling of the law that imposed forceful drafting of "subversive youths", as 88 of their colleagues had been forcefully drafted. The regime ordered the police inside the Law School. Many students were reportedly subjected to police brutality. The events at the Law School are often cited as the prelude to the Polytechnic uprising.
On November 14, 1973 students at the National Technical University of Athens (also known as "Athens Polytechnic" or Polytechneion) went on strike and started protesting against the military regime (Regime of the Colonels). There was no response, so the students barricaded themselves in and built a radio station (using materials from the laboratories) that repeatedly broadcast across Athens: "Here is Polytechneion! People of Greece, the Polytechneion is the flag bearer of our struggle and your struggle, our common struggle against τhe dictatorship and for democracy!"

That's pretty hardcore.
