Michalis Kaltezas (Greek: Μιχάλης Καλτεζάς; 19 June 1970 – 17 November 1985) was a 15-year-old Greek protester who was shot at the back of his head by police officer Athanasios Melistas during the annual 17 November protests.[1] The police officer was sentenced to two years imprisonment, but he appealed and was declared innocent.[2] Melistas' defense lawyer was Alexandros Lykourezos; the plaintiff attorneys were Nikos Konstantopoulos and Fotis Kouvelis.[3]
Leftist terrorist organization 17 November attacked a police van to revenge the death of Kaltezas; the attack resulted in the death of a police officer.[4][5]
