#32, 16:06: Athens Polytechnic occupation under imminent threat

A few moments ago one of the pro-vice-chancellors of the Athens Polytechnic announced to the people inside the occupied building that the control of the building is no longer with the university senate and that it has been passed on to an attorney general instead. Anarchist radio 98 FM reports that the senate has ordered the university guards to leave their positions.
There is a general assembly happening right now at the Athens Polytechnic, with people deciding whether they should leave the building or not (UPDATE, 23:45 the assembly has decided the occupation continues - see the occupation’s statement).
What we are all fearing is that a police operation inside the Polytechnic is imminent. This would be the first time in over a decade that such an operation takes place - and the first time ever that police enter university grounds with a mass operation without prior permission by the senate.
