(Reuters) - Greek riot police stormed the building of former state television ERT on Thursday and evicted dozens of protesters occupying it since June when the government abruptly shut the broadcaster, police officials said.
Scuffles broke out between some protesters and riot police, who had cordoned off the area and blocked the entrance to the building.
ERT's closure - aimed at meeting a target for job cuts set by foreign lenders - triggered a government crisis and forced sacked journalists to turn to the Internet to broadcast news illegally. They showed footage on Thursday of an empty newsroom.
