Riot policemen are silhouetted as they run in front of a burning kiosk during clashes in
Riot policemen are silhouetted as they run in front of a burning kiosk during clashes in Athens December 6, 2010. Greek police clashed with youths hurling petrol bombs in Athens on Monday during protests to mark the anniversary of the 2008 police killing of a teenager that triggered the countrys worst riots in decades. Three people were injured as thousands marched through the Greek capital in protests the authorities had feared would turn violent amid rising public discontent as Greece battles a debt crisis with stringent austerity measures.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by John Kolesidis, the silhouette of riot policemen running in front of a burning kiosk during clashes in Athens on December 6,2010, tells a story of chaos and unrest. The image symbolizes the deep-rooted frustration and anger that gripped Greece at the time. The photograph was taken during protests marking the anniversary of a teenager's killing by police in 2008, an event that had sparked widespread riots across the country. As thousands marched through the Greek capital to voice their discontent with austerity measures imposed due to a crippling debt crisis, tensions escalated into violent clashes between protesters and law enforcement. The darkened figures of riot policemen against the backdrop of flames create an ominous atmosphere. Their gas masks serve as protection from both physical harm and toxic fumes while they confront an angry crowd demanding change. The burnt remnants of what was once a thriving kiosk stand as symbols of destruction and despair. This image captures not only the physical damage caused but also reflects deeper emotions such as fear, faith, patriotism, and desperation for escape from economic turmoil. It serves as a reminder that behind every protest lies real people fighting for their rights amidst uncertainty. Kolesidis' creative use of light and shadow emphasizes both hopelessness and resilience within this chaotic scene. This photograph stands as a testament to how images can capture moments that shape history while evoking strong emotions within viewers worldwide.
