Greek police crack down on video gamers
Topic: Miscellaneous 2:10 am EDT, Sep 23, 2002

"Greek police have been accused of using "Taleban tactics" after a fresh wave of arrests under a controversial law banning all forms of computer games closed down internet cafes around the country.

"The police are acting like the Taleban, closing down businesses, seizing property and stopping people enjoying themselves," one of the two owners awaiting a retrial, Christos Iordanidis, told the BBC. "

So, at first I shruged this off as a simple case of baddly crafted legislation, but it appears that the Greek police are taking their new law quite seriously and have begun raiding the Internet cafes in the country.

Earth to the Greek Government - If you don't put a stop to this now your country will cease to be viewed as civilized by much of the west.
