Protest for WWII reparations outside German embassy on Thursday


A group of people from the town of Distomo, central Greece, will hold a peaceful demonstration outside the German embassy in Athens on Thursday afternoon in support of their claims for war reparations, an issue now tabled at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. 
Distomo was the scene of a massacre during WWII when 218 locals were executed as part of Nazi reprisals for the activity of partisans in the area.
