<p>Three people have been arrested after protesters opposed to a new landfill clashed with riot police in a town near Athens.</p>
<p>Police said two officers were injured in violent clashes which started when members of a crowd threw molotov cocktails and stones at Keratea&#8217;s police station to protest against the detention of a local man suspected of involvement in previous clashes.</p>
<p>Police responded with tear gas.</p>
<p>Residents of the town, some 30 miles south-east of Athens, have clashed repeatedly over the past two months with riot police guarding the site of the planned rubbish dump.</p>
<p>They claim it will destroy an important archaeological site and pollute the local water table.</p>
<p>Greece is under pressure from the European Union to improve its rubbish disposal policy.</p>
