Riot police officers try to move people away from a sit-down protest on a main street after the end of a demonstration in central Athens, Thursday, May 20, 2010. Some 20 people sat down on the tarmac, chanting "Disobey, disobey, outside parliament every day." More than 20,000 people took part in Thursday's demonstration against austerity measures in debt-strapped Greece, as labor unions staged their fourth general strike this year. (AP Photo/Evi Zoupanou)
