1965 Press Photo Greek policemen chase demonstrators in Athens

500 Greek taxi-drivers, escorted by their wives, clashed with police during demonstrations in front of the parliament building in Athens. The drivers were protesting against the Prime Minister Mr. Papandreou, who was refused to permit the issue licenses for taxi drivers since the existing number is much bigger than it should be. Sixteen policemen and fifteen of the demonstrators were injured, and 24 others were arrested.
