Definition

  • The Revolutionary Organization 17 November (RO-17N, or 17N) is a Greek terrorist group that has carried out dozens of operations and whose members eluded capture for more than 25 years. 17N takes its name from the events of November 14–17, 1973, when a student protest against Greece's military dictatorship at the Athens Polytechneio was met with excessive police force: 34 protestors died and hundreds were injured.
