Demonstrators in Athens were seen holding a moment of silence for victims of fascism following the guilty verdict of far-right group Golden Dawn today (October 7).

Footage shows a large group of anti-fascists close to the Athens courthouse remain silent to honour victims, including rapper Killah P, whose murder was linked to Golden Dawn.

The filmer said: "It’s a landmark decision, the first verdict after the Nuremberg trials that sentences the Nazis as criminals.

"I was there with the trade and student unions because this was a very important, historical moment in the fight against fascism."

Following the announcement of the verdict of the Golden Dawn Trial and the police throwing tear gas to dissolve the thousands outside the Court, they went to the Greek Parliament. In the video, they observe one minute’s silence in memory of the victims of fascism in Greece.
