A clash broke out between protesters and police during a demonstration held in Athens, Greece after the death of a 16-year-old Roman boy who was shot by a police officer while trying to escape from a gas station without paying €20 gas price on December 5. Some of the protesters chanted “killer” slogans at the police, while others threw stones and foreign objects. Riot police used tear gas and stun grenades to disperse the crowd.

In the violent demonstrations previously staged by the Roman community in many cities, especially in the capital Athens and Thessaloniki, a police officer was slightly injured.

The police officer who shot the boy said in his statement that he fired two shots to stop the boy as attempted hitting one of the motorcycles following him with his vehicle. He claimed that he shot to protect his teammates and that he did not want to shoot the child.

The officer was put under house arrest after being accused of intentionally attempting to kill, using a weapon illegally.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi issued a stern warning to the UK, Germany, and France, accusing them of making a “new strategic mistake” regarding Tehran’s nuclear program. In a social media post, Arakchi said, “Iran will give a tough and determined response to the violation of its rights,” criticizing the European trio for backing a resolution against Iran at the IAEA Board of Governors.

Arakchi condemned the move as baseless, recalling past disputes in 2005 which led to the expansion of Iran’s uranium enrichment. “Have these three really not learned any lessons in the last twenty years?” he said.

Meanwhile, the IAEA reported on May 31 that Iran’s 60% enriched uranium stockpile had grown from 274.8 kg in February to 408.6 kg by May 17. In response, the UK, Germany, and France are reportedly preparing to refer Iran’s file to the UN Security Council, which could activate the “snapback” mechanism and reimpose UN sanctions.
