The picture above shows Nikos Voutsis scuffling with police during a November 2013 demonstration outside the headquarters of former state broadcaster ERT in Athens.
Hundreds of staff had taken residence in the broadcaster's headquarters after it was closed by the government as part of austerity measures in June 2013.
