Greek Police Arrest 12 in Crackdown on University Protests

The arrests follow a series of protests against a bill proposing the legalization of private universities, sparking concerns over access to education.

• Greek police arrested 12 students in northern Greece for occupying a law school to protest against a bill that would allow private universities.
• The government argues the reform would prevent brain drain and make higher education more relevant to the labor market.
• Opponents claim the bill would undermine state universities and limit access to education for the less wealthy.
• Leftist groups and students have staged building occupations and protests, some turning violent, against the proposed reform.
• New demonstrations against the bill are planned for Thursday.
