Michalis Kaltezas
About
Michalis Kaltezas (Greek: Μιχάλης Καλτεζάς; 19 June 1970 – 17 November 1985) was a 15-year-old Greek protester who was shot at the back of his head by police officer Athanasios Melistas during the annual 17 November protests. After his death, violent protests and the occupations of the Chemistry School and the Athens Polytechnic followed. This event was part of the far-left disillusionment of Andreas Papandreou's failure to fulfill his campaign promises (unemployment was rapidly rising), leading the youth to violence against the 'establishment.' The police officer was sentenced to two years imprisonment, but he appealed and was declared innocent. Melistas' defense lawyer was Alexandros Lykourezos; the plaintiff attorneys were Nikos Konstantopoulos and Fotis Kouvelis.
